MODERATE

The bill was converted from a draft version to an enrolled, final version ready for signing. The substantive content remained largely the same, but the text was cleaned up to remove internal editing marks and page numbers. A significant addition was a detailed list of specific charities Bob Uecker supported, and the final resolution clause was added to formally direct the legislature to honor his legacy.

TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative markup symbols, page headers, and footers that were present in the draft version.

Added a formal resolution clause at the end directing the legislature to honor Bob Uecker's legacy and extend condolences to his family.

Adjusted the title and header formatting to match the official enrolled format of the Wisconsin Legislature.

REQUIREMENT

Expanded the description of Uecker's philanthropy to include a specific list of organizations he supported, such as the ALS Association and the Make a Wish Foundation.
