MINOR

The bill was transitioned from an original draft to its enrolled final version, which involved updating the sponsor list to include additional senators and correcting the department name from 'Department of Education' to 'state Department of Education' for consistency. The substantive content of the resolution, which commends Sanil Savita Thorat as the 2026 Elementary Student of the Year, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The list of Senate sponsors was expanded to include Senators Bass, Cathey, Jenkins, Miller, Myers, Seabaugh, and Talbot, whereas the original draft only listed Senator Pressly.

The reference to the 'Louisiana Department of Education' was changed to 'state Department of Education' to align with the specific naming convention used in the enrolled version.

The original draft included a 'Digest' section and legislative services notes on the final page, which were removed in the enrolled version.
