MINOR

The Senate adopted version of SR 21 is a commendation resolution for the Jackson State University 'Sonic Boom of the South' marching band and Director Dr. Roderick Little for their performance at the 2025 Tournament of Roses Parade. The text was reformatted from a draft introduction style to an official adopted version, with minor wording adjustments and some character encoding issues that appear to be formatting artifacts rather than substantive policy changes.

TECHNICAL

Header formatting changed from 'As Introduced' draft style to 'As Adopted by Senate' official format with updated session information and page numbering.

Minor wording adjustments in WHEREAS clauses, such as changing 'extend the congratulations' to 'extend the best wishes' and reordering some statements for flow.

Some character encoding artifacts appear in the adopted version (shown as special characters) that likely represent formatting marks from the legislative drafting system rather than intentional text changes.
