MODERATE
The document was converted from a House Resolution (HR 159) to a formal House Bill (HR 159), changing its legal classification and procedural status. The substantive text of the resolution commending Staff Sergeant William Thurman Epps remained unchanged, though minor formatting adjustments and the addition of a header indicating the bill was 'As Adopted by House' were made.
Scope change
The scope of the document changed from a House Resolution to a House Bill, which alters its legislative classification and potential procedural path, but the actual content and purpose of the bill remain identical.
TECHNICAL

The document title and header were updated to reflect that the bill is now 'As Adopted by House' rather than 'As Introduced', indicating it has passed initial review.

The document type was changed from a House Resolution to a House Bill, which is a technical classification change affecting how the measure is tracked and processed in the legislature.

The original page headers and footer metadata (e.g., 'H. R. No. 159', 'PAGE 1') were removed and replaced with a new header indicating the session and bill status.

A new header line was added stating 'HR 159 (As Adopted by House) - 2026 Regular Session' to reflect the bill's current status.
