Introduced → Enrolled · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill text underwent significant formatting and layout changes as it progressed from introduction to enrolled status, with no substantive policy modifications. The core content - commending Peace Camp at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington for its peace-building work - remained unchanged. The enrolled version includes additional procedural markers like 'ENROLLED' and 'SJ298ER' indicating final passage, while removing original metadata like the bill number and patron name.
TECHNICAL

Removed original metadata including bill number (25101652D), patron name (Favola), and introduction date (January 23, 2025) as these are not part of the final enrolled text.

Added enrolled status markers including 'ENROLLED' designation and 'SJ298ER' identifier to indicate the bill has completed all legislative steps.

Text was reformatted with different spacing and line breaks, likely due to different document processing systems used at introduction versus enrollment stages.

Added passage dates showing Senate agreement on January 30, 2025 and House of Delegates agreement on February 3, 2025.
