MODERATE

The bill underwent significant formatting and structural changes between the Senate adoption and enrolled versions. The enrolled version reorganized the text to follow standard legislative formatting conventions, added specific language about the joint convention purpose, and included signature lines for both House and Senate officers. The substantive content regarding the joint convention date, time, and committee composition remained consistent.

TECHNICAL

Changed document header from 'As Adopted by the Senate' to standard enrolled format with '(136th General Assembly)' and 'House Concurrent Resolution Number 5'.

Added signature lines for the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate at the end of the enrolled version.

Changed the resolution opening from 'BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO (THE SENATE CONCURRING)' to 'Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Ohio (the Senate concurring):' with different formatting.
