MINOR
The bill was converted from a House Resolution (HR) to an Enrolled version, which is the final, legally binding form approved by both legislative chambers. The substantive policy content regarding the commemoration of Sail 250 New Orleans and the arrival of international tall ships remains unchanged, though the text was reorganized and renumbered to meet enrollment formatting standards.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated from 'HOUSE RESOLUTION' to 'ENROLLED' and the page count was adjusted from 4 pages to 3 pages, reflecting the final version's formatting.

The text was reorganized and renumbered; the original 'Commendations' section was replaced with a standard 'A RESOLUTION' title, and the 'WHEREAS' clauses were reordered and merged to align with the enrolled format.

The footer and digest sections were removed or altered to match the standard enrolled bill layout, which typically omits the legislative digest found in working drafts.
