MINOR

This is a formatting-only change between two versions of House Concurrent Resolution 252, which honors Mary Houghton of Brattleboro as an advocate for sustainable and affordable housing. The substantive text of the resolution is unchanged; the differences are limited to layout, headers, page numbers, and line wrapping as the bill moved from a working draft to its official adopted format.

TECHNICAL

Added official state header block (State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier, Concurrent House Resolution, H.C.R. 252) and removed page numbers, footers, and internal tracking references (VT LEG #389116 v.1).

Reformatted line breaks and spacing throughout the whereases and resolved clauses to match the official adopted document layout.
