MODERATE
This bill transitioned from its House-passed version to its final enrolled form, adding standard legislative formatting and signatures required for official enactment. The substantive policy content remains unchanged - it still designates the 1905 Wright Flyer III as Ohio's state airplane. The changes are primarily administrative, including adding the 136th General Assembly designation, inserting proper bill numbering, and including signature lines for the Speaker, President, Governor, and Secretary of State.
