MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative document structure to a digital markup format with metadata headers. The substantive content remains the same, though the effective date in Section 2 was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which appears to be an error. The funding amount was removed from the text, leaving a blank space for the appropriation amount.

Scope change

No substantive scope change; the bill continues to appropriate funds to the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney for the career criminal prosecution unit.

TECHNICAL

Document format changed from traditional legislative text to digital markup with metadata headers including author, dates, and version information.

TIMELINE

Effective date in Section 2 was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which is likely an error and needs correction.

FISCAL

The specific dollar amount ($747,267) was removed from Section 1, leaving a blank space for the appropriation amount.
