MINOR

This is a formatting-only change between two official versions of HCR 300, a memorial resolution for Terje Anderson. The substantive text of the resolution is identical in both versions. The only differences are the removal of page headers and footers (bill number R-358, page numbers, year, and legislative tracking number) and the addition of an official title block reading 'State of Vermont / House of Representatives' and 'Montpelier, Vermont / Concurrent House Resolution / H.C.R. 300.'

TECHNICAL

Replaced page-based layout (with R-358 numbering, page numbers, year, and VT LEG tracking number) with an official document header format (State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier, Vermont, Concurrent House Resolution, H.C.R. 300). No changes to the resolution's text, sponsors, or operative provisions.
