The bill transitioned from its initial introduction to its final enrolled version, primarily undergoing significant formatting and layout changes. The substantive policy content, including the specific dates and rules for the legislative prefiling period, remained unchanged. The text was reformatted to include official enrollment markings and adjusted spacing to meet final publication standards.
Scope change
No change in scope or applicability; the bill's operational rules are identical.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was altered to include 'ENROLLED' status headers, official agreement dates for both chambers, and a final bill identifier (HJ30ER), while removing the original 'Introduced' and 'Prefiled' status lines.
Line breaks and spacing were adjusted throughout the text, including the addition of extra blank lines and the reformatting of the title and resolution clauses.
