MINOR
The document was converted from a draft version (SR 4) to an enrolled version (Enrolled SR 4), which is the final, official text ready for signing. The substantive policy content regarding the 250th anniversary of the United States remains identical, with no changes to the bill's scope, requirements, or eligibility criteria. The primary differences are the removal of draft metadata (such as sponsor lists and committee referrals) and the addition of official formatting elements like the year and page numbers.

Added official enrolled headers, including the state name, chamber designation, year, and page numbering.
