What changed between versions

06/26/26 - Chaptered → ACR209 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made. The diff reflects a change in document presentation format only: the official chaptered legislative format (with page numbers and column headers) was replaced by a web-based display of the same bill text, including website navigation elements, search tools, and links to related bill pages.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from the official chaptered document layout (with page numbers, column headers like 'Res. Ch. 139', and traditional legislative formatting) into a web page presentation that includes navigation menus, search functionality, version history links, and other website interface elements. The actual resolution language recognizing May 2026 as Behavioral Health Awareness Month is identical in both versions.
