MINOR

The bill was converted from an original draft to its enrolled, final version, which involved significant formatting cleanup, removal of internal tracking numbers, and the addition of the President of the Senate's signature block. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and the specific list of 2026 award recipients, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative tracking identifiers (e.g., 'SLS 26RS-712', 'ORIGINAL', page numbers) and standardized the layout to match the enrolled format.

Added the signature line for the President of the Senate, which is required for a bill to be officially enrolled and sent to the Governor.

Deleted the 'DIGEST' section and related legal disclaimers, as these are informational summaries not part of the final enacted text.
