`rh` / `rs` — Reported back by the committee to the floor (often with amendments — this is where most language changes happen).

`eh` / `es` — Engrossed. Passed by the originating chamber. Text is now what was actually voted on.

`rdh` / `rds` — Received by the other chamber.

`eah` / `eas` — Engrossed Amendment. The other chamber passed an amended version.

Most bills die before `eh`/`es`. Going from `pcs` → `enr` is the full path through both chambers.
