MINOR
The bill was converted from its original draft to its enrolled, final version, which involves significant formatting and structural cleanup. The primary substantive change is the removal of the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative staff and does not have the force of law. The core policy provisions regarding the designation of 'Shreveport Stuffed Shrimp Festival Day' and the recognition of Eddie Eugene Hughes remain unchanged.
Scope change
The scope of the law remains identical; the only change is the removal of the non-binding legislative digest.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Digest' section at the end of the document, which is a staff-prepared summary and does not constitute part of the law.
Reformatted the document to remove original tracking numbers, page headers, and footer metadata, aligning it with the standard enrolled format.
Adjusted line breaks and paragraph spacing to improve readability and conform to final printing standards.
