Relative to Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

ACR 116 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

02/25/26 - Chaptered → ACR116 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The diff reflects a change in document presentation format only: the 'from' version is the formal chaptered legislative document with state headers and page numbering, while the 'to' version is the same resolution text as rendered on a web-based legislative information portal, complete with navigation menus, search fields, and bill metadata panels.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from an official chaptered print layout (with state header, page numbers, and formal margins) to a web page layout including navigation elements, a quick search panel, bill version history, and share/track options. The underlying resolution text is identical in both versions.
