MODERATE

The bill was converted from a legislative document format to a digital file format (HB840 HD1), with all specific funding amounts removed and replaced with blank fields. The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder or error. This suggests the bill is in a draft or template stage rather than a final version ready for enactment.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on University of Hawaii athletics funding, but the specific dollar amounts and fiscal year allocations have been removed, making the funding provisions incomplete.

FISCAL

Specific dollar amounts for athletics department funding were removed from all three allocation categories (Manoa, Hilo, and temporary positions).

The temporary full-time equivalent (FTE) positions allocation was modified to use blank fields instead of the specific amount of $4,519,341.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, likely indicating this is a template or draft version.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a legislative bill format to a digital file format with metadata headers.
