The bill text was reformatted from a draft introduction version to an enrolled final version, with significant cleanup of spacing, alignment, and line breaks. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, including the recognition of Black History Month in February 2025 and the historical context provided in the WHEREAS clauses.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft metadata and formatting artifacts including page numbers, bill numbers, and inconsistent spacing throughout the document.

Standardized the title from 'SENATE RESOLUTION' to 'SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 175' and corrected the bill number format from 'S.R.ANo.A175' to '89(R) SR 175'.

Reorganized the WHEREAS clauses to improve readability by removing excessive line breaks and inconsistent indentation while preserving all original text content.

Added certification language at the end with signatures for the President of the Senate and Secretary of the Senate to indicate official adoption.
