MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a standard House bill format to a House Committee (HD1) markup version, with the effective date changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000. The substantive policy content regarding teacher salary ratings and military service credit remains unchanged.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain the same; only the effective date was altered to a future placeholder date.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder or error rather than an intentional policy change.

TECHNICAL

The bill was converted from a standard House bill format to a House Committee (HD1) markup version with different formatting and metadata.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the statutory text, including changes in capitalization and punctuation, but the substantive language regarding teacher compensation remains identical.
