The amendment converted HB1077 from an introduced bill into its enrolled (final passed) version by adding signature pages and attestation language from legislative leadership and the Governor, while making numerous minor grammatical corrections throughout the statutory text (replacing "shall be" with "is," updating pronoun references, and standardizing punctuation). The substantive content—classifying cultivated-protein food products as adulterated food—remained unchanged.
