MINOR
The bill text underwent significant formatting and layout adjustments, likely for final printing and enrollment, but the substantive policy content remains unchanged. The core resolution commending the James River Association for its 50th anniversary and its conservation efforts is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The document header was changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled', indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is ready for the Governor's signature.
The list of sponsoring legislators (Patrons and Senators) was removed from the text, as this information is typically handled by the Clerk's office rather than appearing in the final enrolled bill.
The text was reflowed with significant changes in line breaks, spacing, and indentation to fit standard printed formats, but the wording and meaning of the resolution clauses are identical.
