The bill was amended by the House Appropriations Committee to change the funding threshold for unanticipated federal funds from $75 million to $10 million. This significantly lowers the amount of excess federal funding that must be automatically appropriated to the state, potentially allowing more flexibility in how funds are managed. The document also changed from a regular House Resolution to a substitute resolution.
Scope change
The scope of the funding threshold changed from $75 million to $10 million, making the requirement to automatically appropriate excess federal funds applicable to much smaller amounts.

The threshold for unanticipated federal funds that must be continually appropriated was reduced from $75 million to $10 million.
