MINOR

The bill was transitioned from its original draft to its enrolled version, which is the final form ready for signing. The substantive policy content, including the recognition of May 11, 2026, as Louisiana Arts Day and the supporting 'Whereas' clauses, remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, such as the removal of the 'Special Day' header and the deletion of the legislative digest and services notes, which are administrative rather than policy changes.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Special Day/Week/Month' header and the legislative digest section, which are administrative notes not part of the final law.

Adjusted page headers and formatting to reflect the 'Enrolled' status, indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages.
