MINOR
The bill was converted from an original draft to its enrolled, final version, removing the legislative digest and internal reference codes while retaining the core resolution to designate April 11-17, 2025, as Black Maternal Health Week in Louisiana. The substantive policy content, including the resolution's purpose, background statistics on maternal mortality, and the call to action for Louisianians, remains unchanged.

Removed the 'HLS 25RS-1115' reference number and the 'Digest' section, which explains that the digest is not part of the law.
Added the official 'ENROLLED' status and updated page headers to reflect the final version of the bill.
REMOVED
Removed line numbers and specific page headers found in the original draft version.
