MODERATE

SCR 187, a concurrent resolution observing Father's Day on June 21, 2026, moved from its introduced version to its enrolled (final) version with no substantive policy changes. The diff reflects only procedural and formatting updates: removal of line numbers, page headers, coauthor lists, and the addition of standard enrollment language including adoption dates in both chambers and the Secretary of State attestation block.

TECHNICAL

Removed line numbers, page headers/footers, and the 'Revised 6-22-26' revision note that appeared in the introduced version.

Removed the list of coauthors (Senators Allen through Wiener, Assembly Members Boerner, Chen, Arambula, and Dixon) from the enrolled version.

Added standard enrollment elements: 'Secretary of the Senate,' 'Chief Clerk of the Assembly,' a Secretary of State receipt date block, 'RESOLUTION CHAPTER' heading, and 'Attest: Secretary of State' signature line.

The legislative counsel's digest removed the phrase 'as introduced' from the description, reflecting that this is now the final enrolled text.

TIMELINE

Changed the date from 'June 15, 2026' (introduced) to 'Adopted in Senate June 18, 2026' and added 'Adopted in Assembly June 25, 2026.'
