What changed between versions

MODERATE
The bill was amended from an original version to a committee substitute version, primarily changing the bill title to reflect it is a committee substitute and updating the specific date in the facts section from June 14, 2015 to June 25, 2015. The amendment also simplified the language in the WHEREAS clauses by removing specific dollar amounts for ongoing costs and loss of earning capacity, and changed the payment recipient from named individuals to a special needs trust. These changes appear to be procedural and clarifying rather than substantive policy changes.
TIMELINE

The date of the wellness check request was changed from June 14, 2015 to June 25, 2015 in the factual background.

FISCAL

The payment recipient was changed from Sidney and Valerie Carey (grandparents/adoptive parents) to a special needs trust for the benefit of L.P.

TECHNICAL

Specific dollar amounts for ongoing costs and loss of earning capacity were removed from the WHEREAS clauses, while the total $28 million appropriation remains unchanged.

The bill title was updated to indicate this is a Committee Substitute version (CS) rather than the original filed version.
