MINOR

The bill was converted from a draft House Resolution to an Enrolled version, which is the final form ready for signing into law. The substantive content regarding the tribute to Joseph Williamson Luter III remains unchanged, though the text was reformatted to fit the official enrolled layout and includes a new identifier (HR196ER).

Scope change

None; the bill's subject matter and applicability are identical to the introduced version.

TECHNICAL

The document was restructured from a draft introduction format to the official Enrolled format, adding session headers, page breaks, and the final enrolled identifier while preserving all original text.

Draft-specific metadata, such as the bill number (26108540D) and the patron's name (Wachsmann), were removed as these are no longer relevant to the final enrolled bill.

The identifier 'HR196ER' was added to mark the bill as Enrolled, and the text was adjusted to include the 'Agreed to' date and proper spacing for the final version.
