A bill for an act establishing a seal of civics excellence program administered by the department of education to recognize student excellence in civics.

The primary subject of the bill changed from a 'Seal of Biliteracy' (language proficiency) to a 'Seal of Civics Excellence' (civic knowledge and participation).

The requirements for the award were changed from demonstrating proficiency in two or more world languages to demonstrating knowledge of American government and participation in civic activities.

The definition of the award was updated to reflect that it recognizes excellence in civics rather than linguistic ability.

Removed the Governor's signature block, date (June 01, 2026), and handwritten-style text, as these are no longer needed once the bill is officially enrolled.

Added the formal certification block signed by the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate to confirm the bill is enrolled.

Standardized the formatting of section numbers and spacing to match the final enrolled version of the legislation.

The document format changed from a line-by-line amendment markup to a clean, final enacted statute suitable for publication.

A formal cover letter from Governor Kim Reynolds and Lieutenant Governor Chris Cournoyer was added, certifying the bill's approval.

Signatures from the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate were added to the certification page.
