MINOR

The bill text was converted from a House Resolution draft to the final Enrolled version, which includes the official signature of the Speaker of the House. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of Pastor Joe R. Gant, Jr., and all specific biographical details, remained exactly the same. This change is purely procedural and administrative, confirming the bill's final passage.

TECHNICAL

Added the official title 'ENROLLED' and the signature line for the Speaker of the House, indicating the bill has been finalized and signed.

Removed the original bill number 'HLS 25RS-4387' and the legislative digest section, which are standard formatting elements for drafts but not part of the final enrolled law.

Adjusted page numbering and layout to reflect the transition from a two-page draft to a single-page enrolled document.
