MINOR

The bill was amended from its original introduced version to a committee substitute version, primarily updating formatting and adding 'Jr.' and 'Sr.' titles consistently throughout the text. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with the only notable addition being the specification that the resolution originates from the Committee on Energy and Public Works rather than being referred to it.

TECHNICAL

Added 'Jr.' and 'Sr.' titles to Donald Tackett's name throughout the resolution for consistency and proper honorific formatting.

Changed the origin description from 'Referred to the committee on Energy and Public Works then Rules' to 'Originating in the Committee on Energy and Public Works; Reported on March 13, 2025'.

Added 'for' after 'Committee Substitute' in the title section for proper formatting.
