MINOR

The resolution was amended to include additional sponsors, update formatting for consistency, and slightly rephrase several 'Whereas' clauses for clarity. The core purpose of declaring March 2025 as Disability Awareness Month in Michigan remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Added seven additional sponsors (Glanville, Paiz, Rogers, Snyder, Witwer, and Wooden) to the resolution, expanding the coalition of legislators supporting the measure.

Replaced the phrase 'Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)' with 'Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) a' in one clause, likely a formatting or drafting error that should be reviewed.

Adjusted line breaks and punctuation throughout the document to improve readability and standard formatting.
