MINOR

This is a formatting-only change between two versions of HCR 241, a congratulatory resolution for Dr. Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux. The document was reformatted from a numbered bill layout (with page headers and a legislative tracking number) to the official enrolled resolution format used by the Vermont House. No substantive content was added, removed, or altered.

TECHNICAL

Header changed from a numbered bill format (R-293, Page 1 of 1, 2026) to the official state resolution format (State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier, Vermont, Concurrent House Resolution, H.C.R. 241).

Removed the legislative tracking footer 'VT LEG #389088 v.1'.

Line breaks and indentation were adjusted throughout to match the official enrolled document layout; all substantive text (sponsors, whereas clauses, resolutions) is unchanged.
