MODERATE

This document shows the transition of Ohio Senate Bill 21 from its House-passed version to its enrolled final version. The primary change is the addition of standard legislative formatting and administrative details required for a bill to become official law. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, as both versions designate October 4 as Rutherford B. Hayes Day.

TECHNICAL

Added standard legislative headers including the General Assembly session information, bill number designation, and act title.

Added signature lines for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, Governor, and Secretary of State to formalize the bill's passage and approval.

Added filing information including the Legislative Service Commission director signature and Secretary of State filing details with date and file number placeholders.

Removed page numbers and line numbers that were present in the House-passed version for tracking purposes during the legislative process.

Changed the bill title format from descriptive text to standardized 'AN ACT' format with the purpose statement.
