The bill was converted from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, changing the layout to match official state printing standards. The substantive text honoring Purcell G. Bailey remains identical, with no changes to the facts, dates, or resolutions regarding his life and legacy.
TECHNICAL

The document structure was reformatted to include official session headers, status indicators (Introduced vs. Enrolled), and page spacing required for final printing.

The header section was updated to reflect the bill's final status as 'ENROLLED' rather than 'INTRODUCED', and the bill number was updated to 'HJ144ER'.

The original patron and offer date sections were removed and replaced with official agreement dates from the House and Senate.
