Introduced → Enrolled · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill transitioned from an 'Introduced' draft to an 'Enrolled' final version, primarily changing the layout and formatting rather than the policy content. The substantive text honoring J. Hamilton Lambert remains identical, but the document now includes official enrollment markers, dates of passage by the House and Senate, and a unique bill identifier (HJ140ER) required for final printing.

Scope change

null

TECHNICAL

Added official enrollment status, passage dates (February 23 and 26, 2026), and a unique bill number (HJ140ER) to finalize the document for printing.

Removed the original introduction date and list of sponsoring legislators, as these are no longer needed once the bill has passed both chambers.

Replaced the original header with a new layout featuring decorative spacing and centered text to match the official enrolled format.
