MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a House Draft version (HD2) to a Senate Draft version (SD1), with no substantive policy changes. The core provisions remain identical: establishing a three-year agricultural climate-resilience grant pilot program, eligibility requirements for small family farms, and funding appropriations. The only notable difference is the effective date, which was changed from an unspecified date to July 1, 2050, likely a placeholder error.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; only formatting and metadata differences between versions.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a placeholder or error since the program is a three-year pilot intended for 2025-2028.

TECHNICAL

Text formatting was standardized from the House Draft format to the Senate Draft format, including line breaks and spacing adjustments.

Metadata headers and version control information (e.g., 'SMA Bill SD', timestamps, revision numbers) were added to the Senate Draft version.
