MINOR

The resolution was amended to add Rep. Kelly as a sponsor and reorganize the 'Whereas' clauses to present biblical references in a different order. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with the same declaration of November 23, 2025, as Christ the King Sunday in Michigan.

TECHNICAL

Reordered the 'Whereas' clauses to place the Daniel 7:14 reference first, followed by the 'King of kings' scripture, then the historical context about the feast day's origins in 1925.

Added Rep. Kelly to the list of sponsors in the introductory section.

Removed page header/footer text from the original version.
