SCR57 Original → SCR57 Enrolled · 3 edits · May 28, 2025

MINOR

The bill was formally enrolled and signed into law, transitioning from a draft to an official legislative instrument. The primary substantive change is the expansion of the sponsoring sponsors list to include numerous additional Senators and Representatives, reflecting the bill's passage by the full legislature. The text of the resolution itself, which expresses condolences for Steven J. Miguez and recognizes his life achievements, remains substantively identical to the original draft.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's applicability did not change; it remains a resolution of condolence and recognition for a specific individual. The change reflects the procedural completion of the legislative process.

TECHNICAL

Added a comprehensive list of co-sponsoring Senators and Representatives who voted to pass the resolution, which was absent in the original draft.

Updated the header and footer to reflect the bill's status as 'Enrolled' rather than 'Original,' indicating it has been approved by both chambers and is ready for execution.

Removed the 'Digest' section and legislative services notes, as these are preparatory documents that are not part of the final enacted law.
