Notes & recommended verification

  • The compiled document contains fragments from multiple state resolutions (Alabama, Illinois, Georgia) and inconsistent metadata (sponsors list and an initial title referencing Jefferson Parish Youth Hall of Fame). Because of these inconsistencies, consult the official legislative clerk or the legislature’s bill tracking system for the authoritative text and the jurisdiction that formally adopted H.R. 373.
