MODERATE

ACR 130 moved from its introduced version to the enrolled (final) version with no changes to its substantive content. The resolution still declares April 14 of each year as Sylvia Mendez Day in recognition of the Mendez v. Westminster school desegregation case. All changes are procedural and formatting, reflecting the bill's passage through both chambers.

TECHNICAL

Header changed from session identification to the resolution number, and the introduction date (February 5, 2026) was replaced with adoption dates: Assembly April 16, 2026 and Senate May 7, 2026.

The list of coauthors (approximately 60 Assembly Members) was removed from the enrolled version.

Standard enrollment elements were added: a Secretary of State receipt block with date and time fields, a Deputy Secretary of State signature line, a 'RESOLUTION CHAPTER' heading, and an 'Attest: Secretary of State' line at the end.

The 'REVISIONS' note (which indicated a minor heading edit on Line 2) was removed, as it is no longer needed in the final enrolled text.
