MINOR
This is a formatting and layout revision of a Vermont joint resolution (JRS 31) relating to Town Meeting adjournment. The substantive content of the resolution - setting the reconvening date as no later than March 10, 2026 after adjournment on February 27 or 28, 2026 - is unchanged. The changes involve reorganizing the header to a standard Senate Chamber format and updating the internal document tracking number.
TECHNICAL
Header reformatted from a simple title block to a standard 'State of Vermont / Senate Chamber' layout with 'Montpelier, Vermont' and 'Joint Senate Resolution' added as formal identifiers.
Internal document tracking number changed from VT LEG #387210 v.1 to VT LEG #386197 v.1, likely reflecting a renumbering during the legislative process.
