MODERATE

This document transitioned from a draft bill introduction to an enrolled (enacted) version of a ceremonial resolution. The primary changes involve formatting updates, citation number assignment, date specification, and minor text standardization rather than substantive policy modifications.

TECHNICAL

Added enrollment status indicators including 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' header, bill number '26-17', and specific date 'March 4, 2025' to formalize the document as enacted legislation.

Changed Sec. 3 language from 'immediately upon the first date of publication in the District of Columbia Register' to 'immediately' for simplified effective date language.

Standardized number formatting throughout (e.g., '16th' instead of '16 th', '8 schools' instead of 'eight schools') and adjusted spacing for enrolled document formatting.

Removed Councilmember Matthew Frumin's name from the header as this information is no longer needed in the enrolled version.
