MINOR
The bill was restructured from a standard House resolution into a formal 'House Resolution' document with updated header formatting to reflect the Fifty-seventh Legislature. The substantive text, including the historical background and the final resolution to celebrate Route 66, remains identical to the introduced version.
Scope change
The scope of the bill's policy impact is unchanged; it remains a symbolic resolution with no new funding, legal requirements, or administrative changes.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to change the title from 'REFERENCE TITLE' to 'HR2003 - 572R - H Ver' and reorganized the legislative session details to match standard House Engrossed formatting.
The resolution title was changed from 'A RESOLUTION' to 'A RESOLUTION Celebrating the 100th ANNIVERSARY of the historic route 66.'
The layout was adjusted to include a 'TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE' marker and reorganized the 'Whereas' clauses into a continuous block format rather than a numbered list.
