Raised Bill → GAE Joint Favorable Substitute · 5 edits
MODERATE
The bill was revised from a 'Raised Bill' to a 'Substitute Bill' with several substantive changes to the observances the Governor must proclaim. The most significant change is the addition of a new subdivision (135) for Veterans' Month in November, while other observances were renumbered and some were modified or removed. These changes reflect legislative adjustments to the list of state observances and their numbering sequence.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded by adding a new observance (Veterans' Month) and renumbering existing observances, while removing subdivision (134) from the original version.
