Recognize outstanding cultural accomplishments of the Mississippi Songwriters Alliance.
This resolution (SR 71) is a symbolic gesture by the Mississippi Senate to honor the Mississippi Songwriters Alliance (MSA) for 15 years of cultural work. It recognizes MSA's achievements, including hosting over 150 festivals, creating the Mississippi Songwriters Hall of Fame, running education programs in schools, and providing songwriting therapy for veterans. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it solely serves as a formal acknowledgment of MSA's contributions to Mississippi's music heritage. The Senate will present this resolution to the Alliance and forward it to the Mississippi Arts Commission.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted and reorganized from the 'As Introduced' version to the 'As Adopted by Senate' version, with no substantive policy changes to the resolution's content. The resolution recognizes the Mississippi Songwriters Alliance's achievements and welcomes them to the Senate floor.
TECHNICAL
The bill was reorganized with the title and resolution text moved to the top of the document, and the 'WHEREAS' and 'NOW, THEREFORE' clauses reordered for clarity.
Formatting changes including removal of page headers and footers, and consolidation of line breaks and spacing throughout the document.
Some bullet point formatting was altered with the addition of special characters (like '����') that appear to be encoding artifacts rather than substantive text changes.
