MINOR

The bill was converted from a draft House Resolution to its final enrolled version, which includes the official signature of the Speaker of the House. The substantive text of the resolution, including the recognition of National Mississippi River Day and the specific actions urged, remains unchanged. The primary differences are the removal of the internal legislative digest and the addition of formal enrollment markings.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative services and does not constitute law.

Added the title 'ENROLLED' and the signature line 'SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' to finalize the bill.

Adjusted page headers and line numbering to reflect the transition from a draft document to the official enrolled version.
