MINOR

The document has been converted from a draft 'Introduced' version of a House Joint Resolution to an 'Enrolled' version, indicating it has been fully approved by both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive content, including the biographical details and resolutions honoring Thomas Vincent Van Auken, Jr., remains unchanged, though the text has been reformatted with different spacing and line breaks typical of official enrolled bills.

TECHNICAL

The document status changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled', reflecting its progression through the legislative process to final approval.

Formatting was updated to include 'Agreed to' dates for both the House and Senate and adjusted line spacing to match official enrolled bill standards.
