The copy shall omit the signature of the officers affixed to the enrolled act or joint resolution.

(d) The department shall determine the number of copies to be printed.

(e) After making the necessary comparison, the chief of the legislative reference bureau shall issue a certificate, to be filed in the office of the secretary of state as a public record, that he or she has compared the printed acts with the original acts on file in the office of the secretary of state, and that they appear to be correctly printed.
