Note on source materials

The supplied version content included an unrelated federal immigration clause referencing the Czech Republic and 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(E)(i). That clause appears to be from a different measure and is not related to the Arkansas House resolution honoring the Horatio FFA team.
