This change converts the bill from its introduced form to its enrolled (final passed) form, which is a procedural transformation rather than a substantive amendment to the bill's content. The enrolled version removes the legislative markup indicators and introductory language while adding signature lines and official certification blocks required for a bill that has completed the legislative process.
