This bill was processed from introduction to enrolled status, meaning it has been officially approved by both the Senate and House of Delegates. The substantive content of the resolution honoring Gladys Mae West remains unchanged, though formatting was adjusted to comply with enrollment standards. The bill's purpose - to recognize West's contributions to GPS technology - remains intact.

TECHNICAL

Formatting adjustments were made to convert the document from introduction to enrolled status, including adding official session headers, enrollment dates, and bill number (SJ101ER), while removing introduction metadata.
