MINOR

This is a formatting-only change between two versions of HCR 262, a Vermont House concurrent resolution honoring singer-songwriter Noah Kahan. The substantive text of the resolution is identical in both versions; only the document layout, headers, and page structure were updated to reflect the official House adopted format.

TECHNICAL

Document header changed from a legislative tracking format (R-320, page numbers, VT LEG tracking number) to the official House of Representatives format (State of Vermont, Montpelier, Concurrent House Resolution H.C.R. 262).

Line breaks and paragraph formatting were adjusted throughout the Whereas clauses and Resolved clauses, but no words were added, removed, or altered in the substantive text.
