The substantive text commending Ken Nicely for his retirement remains unchanged in meaning, though some line breaks and spacing were modified to meet final printing standards.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was updated to reflect its final status as an enrolled bill, adding specific session identifiers, 'Enrolled' headers, and dates of agreement by the House and Senate.
Line breaks and spacing within the 'Whereas' and 'Resolved' clauses were adjusted to conform to the formatting requirements of the final enrolled document.
