Celebrating the life of James Hartman III.
HJ 155 is a ceremonial resolution honoring James Hartman III, expressing the legislature's respect for his life and contributions. It has no binding policy impact or direct effect on any individuals or groups, as it solely serves to commemorate his memory. The resolution passed both the House and Senate through standard procedural votes (engrossed, agreed to, and laid on the desk). This is a non-binding tribute, not a bill with substantive policy changes.

MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a standard introduced version to an enrolled version, which involves significant changes in layout, spacing, and capitalization to prepare it for final printing. No substantive policy changes, such as new laws, funding, or eligibility criteria, were made.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was altered to include 'ENROLLED' status and specific agreement dates, while removing introductory metadata like the bill number and introduction date.
Text formatting was adjusted to include excessive blank lines and irregular spacing, likely to meet specific printing requirements for the enrolled bill.
The header section was changed from 'INTRODUCED' to 'ENROLLED' and the patron's name was removed.
The resolution text was reflowed with different indentation and line breaks, though the actual words and meaning of the resolution remained identical.
