MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft to its final enrolled version, which involved removing the legislative digest (a non-binding summary) and reformatting the text to match official state printing standards. The substantive content of the resolution, which commends Grambling State University for the centennial of Tiger Athletics, remained unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative services and does not constitute part of the law.
Reformatted the document header and body text to align with the official enrolled style, including adjusting line breaks and spacing.
