MINOR
The bill text was reformatted and cleaned up, removing extraneous metadata, page numbers, and formatting artifacts while preserving the core legislative content. The substantive policy provisions remain unchanged, including the requirement to transfer Kapolei roads by January 1, 2026, and the authorization for county police to enforce statewide traffic codes.
TECHNICAL
Removed formatting artifacts, metadata, page numbers, and extraneous text that were mixed into the original bill text, resulting in a cleaner, more readable legislative document.
Standardized section numbering and formatting to match proper legislative document structure.
Added effective date of July 1, 3000 to Section 6, which appears to be a placeholder or error in the revised version.
