Notes / document inconsistencies

The compiled document supplied with this request contains multiple, disparate text fragments (including a separate resolution recognizing the Punjabi language and an unrelated bill title referencing a “SALT Deductibility Act”), and a varied sponsor list mixing state and federal names. Those fragments appear to be separate resolutions or filings accidentally combined. The substantive content summarized above pertains specifically to the Illinois House Resolution congratulating Lincoln ESD 156 on its centennial.
