MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a numbered line-by-line format to a clean, paragraph-style format with improved readability. The substantive content of the Senate Resolution honoring Yolanda P. Torres remains unchanged, including all biographical details, accomplishments, and the list of family members to be acknowledged. The only substantive addition is a header note about digital content accessibility updates on TLO, which appears to be administrative metadata rather than part of the resolution itself.

TECHNICAL

Added header note about digital content accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) which appears to be administrative metadata

Changed formatting from numbered line-by-line style to clean paragraph format with proper spacing and alignment

Removed page numbers, tracking codes, and line number annotations from the original markup
