The bill was converted from a House Resolution to an Enrolled version, which is the final, official form of the legislation. The substantive content, including the commendation of the Hearts of Hope Children's Advocacy Center and the specific names of staff members recognized, remains unchanged. The primary difference is the removal of the legislative digest and the addition of the Speaker's signature block, indicating the bill has passed all stages of the legislative process.
TECHNICAL
The document format changed from an original draft to the final enrolled version, adding the Speaker of the House signature block and removing the legislative digest.
