MINOR

The bill was reformatted from a standard legislative session header to a clean Senate Resolution title page. The substantive text regarding the recognition of Western Colorado University's 125th anniversary was reorganized and expanded with new details about the university's academic programs, its unique mountain rescue team, athletic achievements, and campus landmarks. The final resolution clauses were reordered slightly but maintain the same intent to honor the university and distribute copies to relevant officials.

TECHNICAL

The header was updated to reflect the final 'Signed Act' status, removing session metadata and adding the official resolution number and sponsor list in a standard format.

The order of the resolution clauses was rearranged, and the text was reflowed to improve readability while keeping the core message of celebrating the 125th anniversary unchanged.

SCOPE

New 'Whereas' clauses were added to specifically highlight the university's mountain rescue team, its athletic history, and specific campus landmarks like the 'W' on Tenderfoot Mountain.
