The changes between the two versions of Bill SB 2304 involve replacing the term "Engrossed" with "Enrolled." This is important because the "Enrolled" version typically represents the final approved version of the bill that is ready for the governor’s signature. By making this distinction, it clarifies the status of the bill in the legislative process, ensuring everyone understands that it is one step closer to becoming law.
