MINOR

The bill text was converted from a draft 'Introduced' version to an 'Enrolled' final version, primarily involving significant formatting adjustments, the addition of an official bill identifier (HR159ER), and the inclusion of an 'Agreed to' date. The substantive policy content, including the biographical details of King Salim Khalfani and the resolution to honor his memory, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The document structure was altered to reflect the transition from a draft resolution to an enrolled final version, including the addition of the official bill number HR159ER and the 'Agreed to' date.

The list of legislative patrons (McQuinn, Carr, Cole, etc.) was removed from the text, which is standard practice when a bill is finalized and enrolled.

Multiple blank lines and spacing adjustments were added throughout the document to accommodate the enrolled format.
