MINOR
The substantive content of HCR 244 is unchanged. The only differences are in document formatting and layout: page headers, footers, line wrapping, and indentation were reorganized to match the official adopted version template. The resolution still recognizes April 11-17, 2026 as Black Maternal Health Week in Vermont and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to BMMA.
TECHNICAL

Document header changed from a draft-style format (R-296, Page 1 of 2, VT LEG #389091 v.1) to an official adopted format (State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier, Vermont, Concurrent House Resolution, H.C.R. 244).

Line wrapping, indentation, and spacing were reflowed throughout the document to fit the new layout template. No words were added or removed from the resolution text.
