MINOR

The bill was converted from a draft House Resolution to its final Enrolled version, which is the official form required for the resolution to become law. The substantive text regarding the commendation of Pope Leo XIV remained unchanged, though the formatting was adjusted to meet final printing standards and the digest section was removed as it is not part of the law.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'DIGEST' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative services and does not constitute part of the law.

Added 'ENROLLED' and 'SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' headers to indicate the document's final status and official certification.

Adjusted line breaks and spacing throughout the document to conform to the standard formatting of an enrolled bill.
