MINOR
This document is a legislative bill (HR 702) that was converted from an introduced version to an enrolled version, which is the final form ready for signing. The primary change is the addition of a digital accessibility update note about WCAG 2.1 standards, while the core text of the resolution congratulating Tessa Pettyjohn on the 2025 Teacher of Promise award remains substantively unchanged. The formatting was reorganized to meet official enrolled bill standards.
Scope change
No substantive policy changes to the bill's scope, applicability, or content. The resolution's purpose and recipients remain identical.
TECHNICAL
Added a note about digital content accessibility alignment with WCAG 2.1 standards, which is a technical compliance update rather than a policy change.
Reformatted the bill text from a draft introduction format to an official enrolled format with proper spacing, line breaks, and certification language for the House of Representatives.
