MODERATE
The bill was amended by the Committee on Energy and Public Works to correct spelling errors in the memorial name (changing 'Seymore' to 'Seymour'), update the son's name from 'Dave' to 'David', and adjust formatting of the committee history and resolution text. These are primarily technical corrections to ensure accuracy in the official memorial designation.
TECHNICAL
Corrected spelling of the surname from 'Seymore' to 'Seymour' in multiple locations throughout the resolution text.
Changed the son's name from 'Dave' to 'David' in the family members section.
Updated committee history to reflect that the bill originated in the Committee on Energy and Public Works rather than being referred to it.
Added 'for' before 'HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 45' in the title section for proper formatting.
