MINOR

This document shows the transition of Senate Joint Resolution 63 from its introduced version to its enrolled (final) version. The primary changes are formatting and layout adjustments rather than substantive policy modifications. The resolution commends Betty Adams for her retirement as executive director of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center, and no policy content was altered during this process.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and layout changes were made to convert the bill from introduced to enrolled status, including repositioning headers, adding spacing, and adjusting text alignment for final printing.

The bill status changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' with updated dates showing Senate agreement on January 29, 2026, and House of Delegates agreement on February 2, 2026.
