MINOR
The bill was reformatted from an original draft to an enrolled version, which involves standardizing the header, page numbering, and spacing. The substantive text, including the prayer and fasting proclamation and the 'Whereas' clauses, remains identical in meaning, with only minor grammatical adjustments (e.g., changing 'state' to 'State'). No new policies, funding, or legal requirements were added or removed.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was updated to match official enrolled formatting, including the addition of a title line, removal of draft identifiers, and reorganization of page breaks.
