MODERATE

The bill was reformatted from a House Draft (HD2) to a Senate Draft (SD1) version, which introduced new claims under the Judiciary department and updated the total appropriation amount. The most significant change is the addition of a new claim against the Judiciary for $90,000, increasing the total Section 1 appropriation from $5,158,867.07 to $5,229,381.07. The effective date was also changed from an unspecified date to April 23, 2057, which appears to be a placeholder or clerical error.

Scope change

The scope of the bill expanded to include a new claim under the Judiciary department, increasing the total number of claimants and the overall funding amount.

FISCAL

Added a new claim of $90,000 for Leanne Rosa v. Randal G.B. Valenciano under the Judiciary department, which was not present in the original version.

The total appropriation amount for Section 1 increased from $5,158,867.07 to $5,229,381.07 due to the addition of the new Judiciary claim.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed to April 23, 2057, which is likely a clerical error as it is over 30 years in the future.

TECHNICAL

The bill was reformatted from a House Draft (HD2) to a Senate Draft (SD1) version, changing the header information and document structure.
