MINOR

The document appears to be a formatting conversion of a legislative resolution (H.R. 537) from an introduced draft to an enrolled version. The substantive content of the resolution honoring William Rattay Jr. remained unchanged, though the layout was significantly reformatted with added spacing, standardized text formatting, and inclusion of certification language. A line about digital content accessibility standards was added at the beginning, which appears to be an administrative note rather than part of the resolution itself.

TECHNICAL

Added a line about digital content accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) at the beginning, likely an administrative note rather than part of the resolution
