MODERATE

This resolution commending the Council of Virginia Archaeologists for its 50th anniversary underwent extensive formatting changes during the legislative process. The substantive content of the resolution remained unchanged, though the layout was reorganized to comply with enrollment standards, including the addition of session identifiers and the correction of a typo in the enrolled version.

TECHNICAL

The bill was reformatted from an introduced version to an enrolled version, adding session headers and changing the title placement to meet official enrollment requirements.

A typo was corrected in the enrolled version where 'ENROLLED' was misspelled as 'ENROLLE D' in the introduced version.

Agreement dates were added showing the House of Delegates agreed on February 3, 2025, and the Senate agreed on February 6, 2025.

Patron names (Hodges and Green) and introductory dashes were removed during the enrollment process as they are not required in the final enrolled version.
