What changed between versions

Introduced Version → Committee Substitute · 4 edits

MODERATE

The bill was amended from the Introduced Version to the Committee Substitute version, primarily changing the bridge name abbreviation from 'Private First Class' to 'PFC' for consistency, and updating the bill's origin information to reflect its committee history rather than introduction date. These are technical and formatting changes that do not affect the substantive policy or legal effect of the resolution.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bridge name abbreviation from 'U. S. Army Private First Class' to 'U.S. Army PFC' in both the request and sign identification sections for consistency and brevity.

Updated the bill header to show it originated in the Committee on Energy and Public Works and was reported on March 10, 2025, instead of showing the introduction date of February 13, 2025.

Removed the introductory text 'Introduced Version' and replaced it with 'Committee Substitute' in the header section.

Added the word 'for' between 'Committee Substitute' and 'HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 7' to clarify the document type.
