MINOR
The document transitioned from an introduced House Joint Resolution to its enrolled final version, primarily involving formatting adjustments and the addition of procedural markers indicating approval by both legislative chambers. No substantive policy changes, funding, or eligibility criteria were altered.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted to reflect its status as an enrolled bill, including the addition of approval dates for the House and Senate and the inclusion of a bill identifier (HJ198ER).
Lists of legislative patrons and sponsors were removed, as these are not included in the final enrolled version of a resolution.
Procedural text indicating that the resolution was agreed to by the House of Delegates on March 9, 2026, and the Senate on March 11, 2026, was added.
