MINOR

The changes between these two versions of HCR 187 are entirely formatting and layout adjustments. The official House version replaces the draft-style header (page number, bill number format) with the standard official resolution format including 'State of Vermont,' 'House of Representatives,' and 'Montpelier, Vermont.' No substantive policy content was altered.

TECHNICAL

Header reformatted from a draft style (R-228, Page 1 of 1, 2026) to the official resolution format with State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier Vermont, and Concurrent House Resolution H.C.R. 187.

Line wrapping and paragraph formatting adjusted throughout to match the official published layout; all substantive text in the Whereas and Resolved clauses remains identical.
