MODERATE

The bill was amended to update its header information and change the effective date from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000. The core policy content regarding Medicaid in-home services funding remains substantively unchanged, though the appropriation amount field was blanked out in the HD1 version. This appears to be a technical amendment for legislative processing rather than a substantive policy change.
