This change converted the bill from its introduced form to its enrolled (final passed) version, adding standard legislative certification pages and signatures while preserving the core appropriation of $2,652,561 from the general fund to the state fire suppression special revenue fund for wildfire suppression costs. The substantive policy content remained unchanged; this was purely a formatting transformation to reflect the bill's completion through the legislative process.
