MINOR
The bill was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, which involves significant formatting cleanup and the removal of a non-binding legislative digest. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, as the resolution still commends the new Pope and invites him to visit Louisiana.
TECHNICAL
Removed the non-binding legislative digest and original draft header information, which are not part of the final law.
Standardized the document layout by removing inconsistent line breaks and aligning text to match official enrolled formatting standards.
