MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made. The differences between the two versions are entirely formatting and layout: removal of page headers/footers, addition of a formal title block (State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier, Vermont), and reflowing of line breaks in the body text. The resolution's content is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

Page header and footer elements (R-265, Page 1 of 1, 2026, VT LEG #388358 v.1) were removed.

A formal title block was added with State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier Vermont, Concurrent House Resolution, and H.C.R. 218.

Line breaks and indentation in the Whereas clauses and Resolved sections were reformatted but the text content is unchanged.
