MODERATE

The bill transitioned from a draft introduction to its final enrolled version, primarily involving significant formatting adjustments and the addition of official approval dates. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of Doran Glass III and the specific reasons for the award, remained unchanged. A minor text correction was made to the enrolled title, changing 'ENROLLED' to 'ENROLLE D'.

TECHNICAL

The bill's status changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled', indicating it has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.

Official dates were added showing the House agreed to the bill on March 12, 2026, and the Senate agreed on March 13, 2026.

The title was slightly altered from 'ENROLLED' to 'ENROLLE D' in the final version.

Lists of sponsoring legislators (Patrons) were removed from the final enrolled text.

The layout was restructured from a standard introduction format to a centered, formal enrolled format with added spacing.
