This is a funding measure, not a new policy, and does not create new requirements for individuals or organizations.

MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a House Draft (HD2) to a Senate Draft (SD1) version, with the primary substantive change being the rewording of the bill's purpose. The original purpose was to fund a fall prevention and early detection coordinator position, while the new version states the purpose is to fund the 'current fall prevention campaign.' This change broadens the scope of funding from a specific position to a broader campaign, though the appropriations language remains similar.
