MODERATE
This document shows the transformation of a Senate Joint Resolution from its introduced draft to its enrolled final version. The primary changes involve formatting and layout adjustments rather than substantive policy modifications. The resolution commending Sheriff David R. Hines remains substantively unchanged in its content and intent.
TECHNICAL
Formatting changes including removal of session metadata (bill number, introduction date), addition of enrollment status indicators, and reorganization of text layout with spacing adjustments
Removal of patron information (McDougle, Cifers, Fowler, Wyatt) from the final enrolled version, which is standard practice as enrolled bills no longer list sponsors
Addition of approval dates showing Senate agreement on February 5, 2026 and House of Delegates agreement on February 9, 2026
Text wrapping and line breaks were adjusted to fit final document formatting requirements, with some WHEREAS clauses split across multiple lines
