As a procedural resolution, it does not create new laws or affect policy, only serving to acknowledge PAR’s contributions.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a House Resolution to an Enrolled version, which is the final, official form signed by the Governor. The substantive content regarding the commendation of the Public Affairs Research Council remained largely the same, though the text was reorganized to include an additional paragraph highlighting the Council's role in the 1973 constitutional convention. The digest section was removed as it is not part of the final law.
TECHNICAL
The document format changed from a House Resolution draft to an Enrolled bill, indicating it has passed both legislative chambers and received the Governor's signature.
A new 'WHEREAS' clause was inserted to specifically mention the Council's instrumental role in the 1973 constitutional convention.
The 'DIGEST' section, which provides a summary of the bill's purpose, was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.
