What changed between versions

04/13/26 - Introduced SCR160 · 1 edit
MINOR
No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The differences are entirely in document formatting and presentation: the first version is a formatted legislative document with line numbers and page headers, while the second is a web page rendering of the same bill from a legislative website, complete with navigation menus and search elements.
TECHNICAL

The document changed from a printed legislative format (with line numbers, page headers/footers, and column layout) to a web page display that includes site navigation, search tools, and bill information panels. The actual resolution text - all WHEREAS clauses and Resolved clauses - is identical in both versions.
