Additional note on source text

The resolution text provided also contains an unrelated memorial resolution for Stuart Allen Yaffe, M.D. (an Illinois Senate memorial), apparently appended in error. That material is distinct from SR 370’s Georgia-focused commendation of Sig Mosley and is not a substantive part of the Mosley resolution.
