MINOR
The bill was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, adding a formal title and a detailed 'Whereas' section that explains the purpose of Counseling Day and praises the Louisiana Counseling Association. The substantive action to designate April 22, 2026, as Counseling Day and commend the association remains unchanged. The digest section, which provides a summary for legislators, was removed as it is not part of the final law.
TECHNICAL
Added a formal title ('A RESOLUTION') and a detailed preamble explaining the bill's purpose and the association's contributions.
Removed the legislative digest, which is a non-binding summary prepared by staff and not part of the final law.
