MINOR
The document was converted from a House Resolution draft to an Enrolled version, indicating it has been approved by the House, the Senate, and the Governor. The substantive text of the resolution, which commends Jessica Harvey and The Difference for their tenth anniversary, remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, such as removing page numbers and the legislative digest, and adding the Speaker of the House's signature block.
TECHNICAL
