The bill was converted from a Senate Adopted Resolution to a Senate Enrolled Resolution, which is the final version ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive content of the resolution remains the same, commemorating March 5, 2025, as Fred Bear Day. The primary changes involve formatting, capitalization, and the addition of official resolution numbering.
TECHNICAL

The document title changed from 'SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 14' to 'Senate Resolution No. 14' with updated official numbering '2025-SER-0014' and added 'Secretary of the Senate' at the end, indicating final approval for executive action.

All 'Whereas' and 'Resolved' clauses were capitalized to standard legislative format, and the text was consolidated from a multi-line draft format into a single continuous resolution text.
