MINOR

The bill was converted from an original draft to its final enrolled version, updating the header to reflect its official status and removing the legislative digest. The substantive text of the resolution, which commends David Kerstein for his philanthropy and awards the 2025 Times-Picayune Loving Cup, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated from 'HLS 26RS-2797 ORIGINAL' to 'ENROLLED' to indicate the bill has been finalized and approved by both legislative chambers.

The 'DIGEST' section, which provides a non-binding summary of the bill's purpose, was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the layout, such as adding a formal title 'A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION' and adjusting line breaks, but the content and meaning of the resolution remain identical.
