Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on establishing the Civilian Honor Medal Program to recognize civilian state employees and civilians who contribute to the military and veteran communities; no new scope was added.
TECHNICAL
Added multiple co-sponsors (Robbry Carter, Chassion, Mike Johnson, Marcelle, Moore, Newell, St. Blanc, and Taylor) to the list of Representatives who introduced the bill.
Updated the bill's status from 'Original' to 'Enrolled' and changed the Act number to 197, reflecting its passage and approval by the Governor.
