MINOR
The document was converted from a House Resolution draft to an Enrolled version, primarily changing the layout to fit official printing standards. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of Dr. Alison Morrison-Shetlar for her retirement and her career achievements, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The text was reformatted from a standard draft layout to an official Enrolled layout with adjusted spacing, margins, and header information (e.g., adding 'ENROLLED' and 'HR17ER').
Removed the original introduction date ('Offered January 19, 2026') and replaced it with the agreement date ('Agreed to by the House of Delegates, January 26, 2026').
Replaced the hyphenated separator lines used in the draft with standard spacing and official title formatting.
