MINOR
The document changed from an 'Engrossed' draft to the final 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text sent to the Governor. The substantive policy content, including the specific examples of political violence and the resolution's text, remained identical. The only changes were the removal of the internal legislative digest and the addition of the Speaker's signature block, which are standard procedural steps for finalizing a bill.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative staff and does not affect the law.
Added the 'Speaker of the House' signature block and changed the header from 'ENGROSSED' to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is ready for executive action.
