MINOR

The bill text was reformatted and cleaned up, removing extraneous metadata, page headers, and formatting artifacts from the original draft. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, including the purpose of expanding family-child interaction learning programs and the appropriation of funds for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. One notable change is the effective date in Section 3, which was altered from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, likely indicating a placeholder or error that needs correction before final passage.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the policy content regarding early learning programs and funding remains the same.

TIMELINE

The effective date in Section 3 was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which appears to be an error requiring correction.
