MODERATE

The bill text has been significantly reformatted from a standard introduced resolution to an enrolled version, adding official session headers and page breaks. The substantive content, including the historical facts about Black voters in 1867 and the commendation resolution, remains unchanged. A minor formatting inconsistency was introduced where 'ENROLLED' was accidentally split into 'ENROLLE D' in the middle of the document.

TECHNICAL

Added official session headers ('2026 SESSION') and status labels ('ENROLLED') to formalize the document.

Removed the list of Patrons (supporting legislators) and the original introduction date.

Inserted multiple blank lines and page breaks to match the formatting style of enrolled bills.

Accidentally split the word 'ENROLLED' into 'ENROLLE D' in the header section.
