MINOR
This bill (SJ 67) commending Sweet Briar College underwent significant formatting and layout changes as it progressed from introduction to enrollment, but no substantive policy changes were made. The core content remains identical - the resolution still recognizes Sweet Briar College's 125th anniversary, its historical significance, and the General Assembly's appreciation for the institution.
TECHNICAL
Formatting and layout changes including removal of patron names, addition of session headers, and reorganization of text spacing throughout the document
Added 'ENROLLED' designation and enrollment dates (Senate: January 30, 2026; House: February 2, 2026) indicating the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for final enactment
Removed list of Senate patrons who sponsored the resolution, which is standard practice when bills move from introduction to final enrollment
