MINOR
The bill was converted from an original House Resolution draft to an Enrolled version, which is the final, legally binding text signed by the Speaker and Lieutenant Governor. The substantive content regarding condolences for Michael Karl Gary remains identical, but the formatting was standardized to remove internal draft markers and page headers, and the final approval signatures were added.
TECHNICAL
Removed internal draft identifiers (e.g., 'HLS 25RS-3041') and page headers to finalize the document for official publication.
Added the 'ENROLLED' status and the signature block for the Speaker of the House and Lieutenant Governor to indicate the bill has passed all legislative stages.
