MINOR

The bill was transitioned from its original draft to the enrolled version, which is the final form ready for signing. The substantive text of the resolution commending Pope Leo XIV remained unchanged, but the header was updated to reflect the official enrolled status, and the digest section was removed as it is not part of the final law.

TECHNICAL

The 'Digest' section, which provides a summary of the bill but is not legally binding, was removed.

The header was updated to include 'ENROLLED' and 'SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' to indicate the document is in its final, official form.

Line numbers and page markers were adjusted to match the enrolled format, though the actual resolution text remained identical.
