MINOR
The document was reorganized from a Mississippi House Resolution into a standard federal-style House Bill (HR 1), though the substantive content remains a commendation for Mr. Herman Smith. The text was reformatted to remove state-specific headers and insertions, resulting in a cleaner layout that aligns with federal legislative formatting standards.
TECHNICAL

The document header and metadata were changed from a state House Resolution format to a federal House Bill format, including updated session years and page numbering styles.

The body text was restructured to remove redundant state-specific headers and merge fragmented clauses into a continuous narrative, improving readability without altering the policy content.
