MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a standard introduction layout to an enrolled original format, indicating it has been passed and signed into law. The substantive policy content remains unchanged - it still recognizes the 30th anniversary of the Million Man March and honors its legacy. This is primarily a procedural change reflecting the bill's progression through the legislative process.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from an introduction draft to an enrolled original version, indicating the bill has been approved by the Council and is now in its final form for signing.

Signatures and councilmember names were removed from the header section, which is standard practice when a bill moves from introduction to enrolled status.

Page numbering and formatting were adjusted to match enrolled document standards, with page numbers now appearing at the bottom of pages rather than in the header.
