MINOR
The bill transitioned from its 'Engrossed' stage to the final 'Enrolled' stage, making it ready for the Mayor's signature. The substantive policy content remains the same: designating a specific stretch of Alabama Avenue as Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert Way. The primary changes are formatting updates, such as correcting the street abbreviation from 'S.E.' to 'SE', and the addition of signature lines for the Council Chairman and Mayor.
TECHNICAL
Updated street abbreviations from 'S.E.' to 'SE' for consistency.
Added signature lines for the Council Chairman and Mayor to finalize the bill.
Adjusted the bill header and footer to reflect the final 'Enrolled' status instead of 'Engrossed'.
