MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a standard legislative document layout to a more compact version with page headers removed and some text reorganized. The substantive content of the resolution commending Coach Joye Lee-McNelis remains unchanged, with no modifications to policy, scope, or requirements.

TECHNICAL

Page headers and formatting markers were removed; text was consolidated into a continuous format without page breaks.

Some paragraph spacing and line breaks were adjusted, particularly in the WHEREAS clauses, but the actual text content remains the same.

A new header line 'SR 84 (As Adopted by Senate) - 2025 Regular Session' was added at the top, indicating this is the adopted version rather than the original introduction.
