MINOR

The bill was converted from a draft House Resolution to its final enrolled version, which is the official text used to enact law. The substantive policy content, including the designation of April 15, 2026, as The Arc Appreciation Day and the specific 'Whereas' clauses detailing the organization's work, remained unchanged. The primary differences are the removal of the legislative digest and the addition of the Speaker's signature block, which are procedural requirements for final passage.

TECHNICAL

Removed the legislative digest and explanatory notes, which are non-binding summaries prepared by the House Legislative Services and do not constitute part of the law.

Added the signature block for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, a mandatory element for a bill to be considered 'Enrolled' and officially enacted.
