MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to its final enrolled version, primarily involving extensive formatting adjustments, centering of text, and the addition of official session status markers. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of Jo Anne Perry Maxwell for her service and the specific details of her career, remained unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted with significant spacing adjustments, centered headers, and the addition of status labels like 'ENROLLED' and bill identifiers to reflect its final passage.
Lists of legislative patrons and senators who sponsored or supported the bill were removed, as these are procedural records not included in the final enrolled text.
Official dates for agreement by the House of Delegates and the Senate were added to document the legislative timeline.
