MODERATE

This is a procedural transition from the engrossed version to the enrolled version of SCONRES 3, which authorizes the lying in state of former President Jimmy Carter's remains in the Capitol rotunda from January 7-9, 2025. No substantive policy changes were made; the core authorization language, dates, and scope remain identical. The changes reflect standard enrolled bill formatting, including dual attestation by both chambers' officers and GPO publication metadata.

TECHNICAL

Changed from 'Passed the Senate January 3, 2025' to dual attestation lines ('Attest: Secretary of the Senate' and 'Attest: Clerk of the House of Representatives'), reflecting that both chambers have concurred in the resolution.

Added 'Agreed to January 3, 2025' as a procedural date marker indicating when the enrolled resolution was agreed to.

Updated header formatting from '119th CONGRESS 1st Session' to the formal enrolled bill style with 'One Hundred Nineteenth Congress... FIRST SESSION' and added 'Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring)' language.

Added GPO publication metadata including converter version, processing dates, and public domain notice in standard Government Publishing Office format.
