MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from a draft legislative document to a standardized Senate bill template (SD1). The substantive policy content remains largely the same, with minor updates to bargaining unit numbers and a significant change to the effective date.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include additional bargaining units (1, 10) in addition to the original units (2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, 14).
TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'upon approval' to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a placeholder or error rather than an intentional policy change.

SCOPE

The list of collective bargaining units covered was expanded to include units (1) and (10) in addition to the original units.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a draft bill layout to a standardized Senate bill template with metadata headers and structured sections.

REQUIREMENT

The expenditure ceiling justification section was updated to include a specific dollar amount ($8,551,796) for the fiscal year 2024-2025.
