MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to its final enrolled version, primarily involving significant formatting adjustments and the addition of official legislative history markers. The substantive policy content, including the designation of Eliza Kortright Monroe Hay Day and the historical facts about her life, remains unchanged. This version includes the final approval dates from the House and Senate, confirming the bill has passed all legislative stages.
Scope change
No change to the bill's scope or applicability; the designated date and resolution text remain identical.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was reorganized to include official session headers, status indicators (Introduced/Enrolled), and approval dates from the House of Delegates and Senate, which were absent in the earlier draft.
Draft-specific metadata such as the bill number, introduction date, pre-file date, and committee referral status were removed as they are no longer relevant to the final enrolled bill.
Text formatting was adjusted to comply with final printing standards, including the addition of spacing, indentation, and the specific 'HJ47ER' identifier used for enrolled bills.
