MODERATE
The bill was restructured from a Senate-adopted format to an enrolled version with a more formal title and reorganized clauses. The substantive content remains largely the same, authorizing a joint legislative convention to welcome the Governor and receive his State of the State address on March 11, 2026, but the text was reorganized for clarity and proper legislative formatting.
TECHNICAL

Resolved clauses were reordered and renumbered for proper legislative structure
Added signature lines for Speaker of the House and President of the Senate
