HR187 Original → HR187 Enrolled · 3 edits · Apr 23, 2026
MINOR
The bill text was converted from an original draft to the enrolled final version, which involves significant formatting changes and the addition of the Speaker's signature block. The substantive content, including the name of the deceased, the date of death, and the specific reasons for the House's condolences, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the 'Enrolled' status and replaced the original session identifier with the Speaker of the House's signature block.

Line breaks and paragraph spacing were adjusted throughout the text to conform to the official enrolled format.

The 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative services, was removed as it is not part of the final law.
