MODERATE
The document changed from a Mississippi House Resolution (HR 39) to a federal-style bill format (HR 39), but the substantive content remains identical. The changes are purely formatting and structural, converting the document from a state legislative resolution to a federal bill format while keeping all the same text about congratulating Officer Kevin Sanders on his retirement.
