The enrolled version added three more senators (Larson, Pischke) and one representative (Roby) as sponsors and made minor formatting corrections, such as removing line numbers and cleaning up punctuation around "coach" titles. These changes have no substantive effect on the bill's purpose of celebrating the Harrisburg Tigers' gymnastics championship.
