MODERATE

The bill was finalized for official enactment, changing the header from 'Original' to 'Enrolled' and removing the legislative digest. The substantive text was edited to improve flow and grammar, including adding specific economic data about the Port of Greater Baton Rouge and correcting a date range for a historical figure.

TECHNICAL

Header updated to reflect the bill's status as 'Enrolled' rather than 'Original', indicating it has passed both chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.

The legislative digest, which summarizes the bill but is not law, was removed as it is not part of the enrolled text.

Corrected a historical date range for Justice Zénon Labauve Jr. to include commas around the years.

Minor grammatical adjustments were made throughout the text, such as removing redundant words like 'the' and 'beautiful' to improve readability.

REQUIREMENT

Added specific statistics regarding the Port of Greater Baton Rouge's cargo tonnage, revenue, and job creation to strengthen the justification for the resolution.
