MODERATE

The bill was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, which involved significant formatting cleanup, removal of internal markup codes, and minor wording refinements to improve flow and professionalism. The substantive policy content, including the specific details of Sharon Courtney's life, the reasons for the resolution, and the final actions taken by the Senate, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative markup symbols (e.g., line numbers, deletion indicators) and standardized the document header to reflect its 'Enrolled' status.

Refined the title and preamble to include a more formal description of the resolution's purpose regarding the political fabric of Louisiana.

Adjusted the wording in the 'WHEREAS' clauses to improve sentence structure and clarity, such as changing 'energize' to 'enliven' and updating the description of her survival details.

Changed the phrase 'ridiculous number of friends' to 'plethora of friends' in the section listing her survivors to maintain a more formal tone appropriate for an official record.
