What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits

MINOR

The resolution was updated from introduction to enrollment with two substantive changes: the language was corrected from 'appointment' to 'reappointment' throughout, and the name of the establishing act was corrected from 'Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Support Act of 2016' to 'Criminal Code Reform Commission Establishment Act of 2016.' The attached resume was removed and standard enrollment formatting was added.

TECHNICAL

Changed 'appointment' to 'reappointment' in the title and Section 2, clarifying that Mr. Park is being reappointed for a second term rather than initially appointed.

Corrected the name of the establishing statute from 'Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Support Act of 2016' to 'Criminal Code Reform Commission Establishment Act of 2016.' The law number (D.C. Law 21-160) and code section remain unchanged, so this is a name correction only.

Removed the attached resume/curriculum vitae for Mr. Park that was included in the introduction version.
