MINOR
The bill was formatted from a standard introduced draft to an enrolled final version, which involved significant changes to the layout, spacing, and header information to meet official printing standards. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of New Grove Baptist Church and the specific historical details listed, remained unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was altered to include official status headers (Introduced vs. Enrolled), session dates, and page numbering consistent with final legislative printing.
Formatting was adjusted to remove internal draft markers and replace them with proper spacing and alignment required for the enrolled bill.
The resolution text was reflowed and split across multiple lines to fit the final printed page layout without altering the meaning or content.
