What changed between versions

08/30/26 - Enrolled → SCR194 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The difference is entirely in presentation format: the first version is a clean enrolled legislative document, while the second is a web page rendering of the same bill that includes navigation menus, search tools, and status metadata. The actual resolution text (all WHEREAS clauses and Resolved clauses) is identical.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a clean enrolled legislative document into a web page layout that adds site navigation (home, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login), search tools, bill status tracking, and metadata such as 'Fiscal Committee: NO' and version history links. No changes to the resolution's language or meaning.
