MINOR
The bill was converted from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, primarily involving significant formatting adjustments, the addition of official session and status headers, and the removal of patron names. The substantive policy content regarding the memorialization of Lloyd G. Edwards, Jr. remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Removed the list of legislative patrons (Hope, Lopez, McClure, and Bennett-Parker) and the initial 'Introduced' status header.
Added 'Enrolled' status headers, specific dates for House and Senate agreement, and a final bill identifier (HJ118ER) to indicate the bill is ready for the Governor.
Adjusted text spacing and line breaks to conform to the official enrolled format, though the core text of the resolution was preserved.
