MINOR
The bill was converted from a Council draft to an Enrolled Original, indicating it has passed both the Council and the Assembly and is ready for the Mayor's signature. The substantive policy text, including the recognition of East City Bookshop's 10th anniversary and the specific reasons for the award, remains unchanged. The only minor substantive adjustment is the removal of a specific publication date requirement in the effective date clause.
TECHNICAL
The document status changed from a Council draft to an 'Enrolled Original,' signifying the bill has completed the legislative process and is awaiting the Mayor's signature.
TIMELINE
The effective date clause was simplified from 'immediately upon the first date of publication in the District of Columbia Register' to 'immediately,' removing a procedural condition for when the resolution takes effect.
