MINOR

The bill transitioned from an Engrossed version to an Enrolled version, marking its final passage through both legislative chambers. The Enrolled version contains formatting adjustments and corrected text that removes bracketed language from the original draft, confirming the final authorized action to commission a portrait of Senator Yvonne Bond Miller.

TECHNICAL

Removed bracketed language '[ , in consultation with the Clerks of the Senate of Virginia and the House of Delegates, ]' from the resolution text, indicating this was a drafting placeholder that was finalized in the Enrolled version.

Added official Enrolled formatting elements including session headers, chamber agreement dates (Senate: February 4, 2026; House: March 11, 2026), and bill identifier 'SJ12ER' to signify final legislative approval.

Removed metadata from the Engrossed version including patron names (Senators Locke and Deeds), committee referral status, and amendment tracking information that is no longer needed in the final enrolled bill.
