Rerevised → Final Act · 3 edits · Mar 6, 2026

MINOR

This bill provides supplemental funding to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The text was updated to reflect the final version of the bill, incorporating formatting changes and adding a note confirming the bill is ready for the Governor's signature. The specific dollar amounts and funding sources for various programs, such as the Army National Guard and IT operations, remain consistent with the previous version.

TECHNICAL

The document was updated from a 'Rerevised' draft to a 'Final Act' version, including the addition of a note indicating the bill is prepared for signatures and the Governor.

Formatting and layout changes were applied to the appropriations table, such as adjusting column headers and removing draft-specific markers like 'Shading denotes HOUSE amendment.'

The list of sponsoring legislators was updated to include the full roster of House and Senate sponsors in a standard format.

Revised → Rerevised · 3 edits · Feb 20, 2026

MINOR

The bill was re-revised to include additional Senate sponsors and a new reading date, while the budget section was significantly reduced by removing several line items. This suggests a major revision to the funding allocation or a decision to eliminate specific budget categories entirely.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding Senate sponsorship expanded to include one additional sponsor, and the budget section was altered to remove specific funding line items.

SCOPE

Added Senator Ball to the list of Senate sponsors, expanding the bill's legislative support.

TIMELINE

Added a specific date, February 20, 2026, marking the 3rd Reading Unamended in the Senate.

FISCAL

Removed budget line items for Vehicle Lease Payments, an unnamed item, and Leased Space, indicating these costs are no longer included in this version of the bill.

Reengrossed → Revised · 1 edit · Feb 19, 2026

MINOR

The bill text was reclassified from 'Reengrossed' to 'Revised' to reflect that it includes amendments adopted during the second reading in the second house rather than the house of introduction. The substantive content regarding the supplemental appropriation to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs remains unchanged, with no modifications to funding amounts, eligibility, or effective dates.

TECHNICAL

The bill's status header was updated from 'Reengrossed' to 'Revised' to accurately describe the legislative history and the specific house where amendments were adopted.

Engrossed → Reengrossed · 4 edits · Feb 12, 2026

MODERATE

The bill was reengrossed to include additional sponsors and updated the legislative history to reflect that it passed third reading unamended on February 12, 2026. The substantive funding tables for the Capitol Complex were removed from this version, likely because they were superseded by a separate appropriations bill or are no longer part of this specific legislative action.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding funding is effectively unchanged in terms of policy, but the specific line-item budget details were removed from the text.

TECHNICAL

Added four new sponsors (Caldwell, Camacho, Clifford, Froelich, Gonzalez R., Hamrick, Joseph, Keltie, Lieder, McCluskie, Nguyen, Slaugh, Weinberg) to the House sponsorship list.

Updated the header from 'ENGROSSED' to 'REENGROSSED' and clarified that amendments were adopted in the House of Introduction.

TIMELINE

Added a note indicating the bill passed third reading unamended on February 12, 2026.

FISCAL

Removed the detailed funding table listing specific appropriations for the Capitol Complex (Space, Depreciation, and OIT payments).

Introduced → Engrossed · 3 edits · Feb 11, 2026

MINOR

The bill was formally adopted as an Engrossed version, incorporating all amendments from the House. The most significant substantive change is the removal of several specific line items under 'Information Technology' and 'CORE Operations' (including Digital Trunk Radio, Civil Air Patrol Operations, and Local Armory Incentive), which reduces the total funding allocated to these specific areas. Minor formatting adjustments were also made to the document headers and table spacing.

FISCAL

Funding allocations for Digital Trunk Radio, Civil Air Patrol Operations, and Local Armory Incentive were deleted from the budget.

A specific line item totaling $761,565 for general IT operations was removed.

TECHNICAL

The bill status was updated from 'Introduced' to 'Engrossed' to reflect the adoption of all amendments.
