MINOR
The bill was converted from an introduced draft to its enrolled, final version, which includes minor reordering of clauses and a significant shortening of the effective date provision. The substantive policy content regarding the recognition of Georgetown's history and contributions remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The effective date clause was simplified from 'immediately upon the first date of publication in the District of Columbia Register' to simply 'immediately'.
The order of the WHEREAS clauses and the RESOLVED clause was rearranged to align with standard enrolled formatting conventions.
