MINOR
The diff between the introduced and enrolled versions of SR 98 reflects formatting cleanup rather than substantive policy changes. The introduced version contained line numbers and draft formatting artifacts that were removed in the enrolled version. The only new content added is the adoption date (April 16, 2026) and a Secretary of the Senate attestation line.
TECHNICAL

Added the formal adoption statement: 'Senate Resolution No. 98 read and adopted by the Senate April 16, 2026.'

Added 'Attest: Secretary of the Senate' signature block at the end of the document.

Removed line numbers, reflowed text, and cleaned up header formatting to produce the final enrolled version. No changes were made to the WHEREAS clauses or the resolution text itself.
