MINOR
The bill text was updated to reflect that it has been adopted by both the House and the Senate, rather than just the House. This change indicates the bill has successfully passed both chambers of the legislature and is now a joint resolution ready for the next procedural steps.
TECHNICAL
The title and header were updated to show the bill is 'As Adopted by House and Senate' instead of just the House, and the subtitle was changed to reflect joint adoption.
