MINOR
The bill was converted from an introduced version to an enrolled version, meaning it has been approved by both the House and Senate and is now ready for final signature. The substantive content of the resolution remains the same, but the formatting was adjusted to meet official enrolled document standards.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted from an introduced draft to an enrolled official version with proper spacing, headers, and page layout adjustments. The text content of the resolution itself did not change.
Added official session headers, enrollment status indicators, and approval dates from both legislative chambers (House: February 18, 2025; Senate: February 20, 2025).
Removed introductory draft markings including the original bill number format, patron names, and initial filing date, which are no longer needed in the final enrolled version.
