MINOR

The bill was converted from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, resulting in significant formatting cleanup, the removal of internal legislative tracking codes, and the addition of official signatures and certification blocks. The substantive text of the resolution honoring Dr. Arthur Steve Baker remains unchanged in meaning, though the layout was restructured to meet final printing standards.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative tracking codes (e.g., '89S10547 DSH-D') and draft headers to produce a clean, final text.

Added signature lines for the President and Secretary of the Senate and a certification block confirming adoption by rising vote.

Reformatted the entire text to remove inconsistent line breaks and spacing, aligning the content with standard enrolled bill formatting.
