Introduced → Enrolled · 3 edits

MINOR

The document transitioned from a draft House Resolution to its final Enrolled version, primarily involving extensive formatting adjustments and the addition of official status markers. The substantive policy content, which commends a retired police chief for his service, remained unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The document layout was significantly altered to reflect the Enrolled status, including the addition of 'ENROLLED' headers, page spacing adjustments, and the insertion of the bill identifier 'HR15ER'.

Draft-specific markers such as the session date header, bill number, and the patron's name were removed as they are not part of the final enrolled text.

Official procedural text indicating the resolution was 'Agreed to by the House of Delegates' on January 26, 2026, was added to the final version.
