Plain-language change summary

The updated version of the bill adds a title, "ENROLLED," at the beginning and deletes a section that specified the term "COMMENDATIONS." However, the substance recognizing David Kerstein for his philanthropic efforts in New Orleans remains intact. This matters because it clarifies the bill’s purpose by formally presenting it as an enrolled resolution while retaining its commendation of Kerstein's contributions, ensuring that his achievements are celebrated clearly and effectively.
