MODERATE

This document shows the transition of a ceremonial resolution from its introduction stage to its enrolled (final) version. The primary changes involve formatting adjustments, addition of bill number and date, and minor text modifications to the effective date clause. The substantive content recognizing the American University men's basketball team's achievements remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Added bill number (26-33) and date (May 6, 2025) to the enrolled version, which are standard administrative additions for final legislative documents.

Changed the effective date language from 'immediately upon the first date of publication in the District of Columbia Register' to 'immediately' in the enrolled version, a common simplification in final resolutions.

Removed signature lines for councilmembers and introductory blank lines that were present in the introduction version but not needed in the enrolled version.

Added page number (1) and 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' headers in the enrolled version, which are standard formatting for final legislative documents.
