MODERATE
The bill was finalized and enrolled, transitioning from a draft resolution to an official legislative instrument. The text was significantly expanded to include detailed 'Whereas' clauses that highlight the station's 40-year history, its role in energy resilience, and its community partnerships, while removing a generic digest summary. The substantive policy content regarding the commemoration of the anniversary remains consistent with the original draft.
Scope change
The scope of the resolution remains unchanged; it still commemorates the 40th anniversary of Entergy's River Bend Station.
TECHNICAL
The document format was updated from a draft 'Original' version to an 'Enrolled' version, indicating it is the final, signed text ready for printing.
The 'Digest' section, which provides a legislative summary, was removed as it is not part of the final law.
Detailed 'Whereas' clauses were added to expand the narrative, specifically mentioning the station's capacity (978 megawatts), employee count (over 800), and specific community partners.
Minor formatting and line break adjustments were made throughout the text to align with standard enrolled bill formatting.
