MODERATE

The bill was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, which involves significant formatting changes, page number updates, and the addition of standard legislative headers and signatures. The substantive content of the resolution, which commends Shirley Wills for her service, remains unchanged. These changes are administrative and technical, ensuring the document meets final printing and filing requirements.

TECHNICAL

The document title was updated from 'HLS 26RS-1583 ORIGINAL' to 'ENROLLED', and the page numbering was adjusted from 'Page 1 of 3' to 'Page 1 of 2'.

A signature block for the Speaker of the House of Representatives was added to the bottom of the second page.

The 'DIGEST' section, which provides a summary of the bill's purpose, was removed from the final enrolled text.

The layout and line breaks were adjusted throughout the text to fit the enrolled format, though the wording of the resolution clauses is identical.
