MINOR
The bill was formally enrolled and passed by both legislative chambers, changing its status from an introduced draft to an official enacted resolution. The text includes minor formatting adjustments and the addition of a bill identifier (HJ126ER), but the substantive content commending Russell Chambers for his retirement remains identical to the original version.
ENFORCEMENT
The bill status changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled', indicating it has been approved by both the House and Senate and is now official law.
Minor formatting changes were made to the header and body text, including the addition of a bill identifier (HJ126ER) and slight line breaks.
The patron list and specific dates of introduction were removed, as these are procedural details no longer relevant to the final enrolled version.
