MODERATE
The document format was completely restructured from a standard legislative resolution to an enrolled bill text, with the original resolution content being reformatted into a different layout. The substantive content of the resolution honoring Albert Black remains unchanged, but the document structure, formatting, and metadata have been significantly altered. This appears to be a technical conversion rather than a policy change.
