MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled version, marking its final approval and readiness for transmission to the U.S. Secretary of the Navy. The substantive policy content, including the encouragement for the Navy to base F-35C fighters at NAS Oceana and the request to share this resolution with constituents, remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, such as the addition of session headers, dates, and page breaks, which are standard procedural steps for finalizing legislation.
TECHNICAL
Added session headers, dates, and page breaks to finalize the document format.
Adjusted line breaks and spacing to accommodate the enrolled document layout.
