MINOR

This is a House Concurrent Resolution honoring former Representative Francis Matthew (Topper) McFaun for his public and community service. The changes between the As Introduced and As Adopted versions are entirely formatting and layout adjustments, with no substantive policy or content changes.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a standard legislative introduction layout to a printed page format with bill number R-363, page numbering, year (2026), and a tracking number (VT LEG #389933 v.1) added at the bottom.

The original header lines 'State of Vermont / House of Representatives' and the centered title block ('Montpelier, Vermont / Concurrent House Resolution / H.C.R. 305') were removed and replaced with the new R-363 page header format.
