The bill text was updated from a draft version to the final enrolled version, replacing the original sponsor's name and amending language with the official legislative text. The core policy content regarding the transfer of Stevens Correctional Center to state control remains consistent between the two versions.

The bill's scope regarding the transfer of Stevens Correctional Center to the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, including asset transfer, debt assumption, and employee transfers, remains unchanged.
