SR53 Original → SR53 Enrolled · 3 edits · Apr 13, 2026

MINOR

The document was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, which is the final, legally binding form of the Senate Resolution. The substantive content remained identical, but the formatting was standardized to remove draft headers and page numbers, and the resolution was reorganized to place the 'Whereas' clauses immediately before the 'Resolved' clause.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft metadata including the bill number (SLS 26RS-1306), the 'Original' label, and the legislative digest section, replacing them with the official 'Enrolled' status and standard formatting.

Reordered the text structure so the 'Whereas' clauses now appear directly before the 'Resolved' clause, aligning with standard enrolled resolution formatting.

Deleted the 'Digest' section and the disclaimer regarding Senate Legislative Services, as these are not part of the final legal text.
