MODERATE

This bill was converted from a standard Senate bill format to a Senate Draft format (SD1) with significant formatting changes and placeholder values. The most substantive change is the effective date, which was altered from July 1, 2025 to July 31, 2050, likely as a placeholder during the drafting process. All specific funding amounts were removed and replaced with blank placeholders, indicating this is a draft version awaiting final budget figures.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same - appropriating funds for retention and internship coordinator positions at UH Hilo - but the draft status and placeholder values indicate this is not yet a final legislative text.

TIMELINE

Effective date changed from July 1, 2025 to July 31, 2050, which appears to be an error or placeholder in the draft version.

FISCAL

All specific dollar amounts were removed and replaced with blank placeholders, making the appropriation amounts undefined in this draft version.

TECHNICAL

Bill format changed from standard Senate bill to Senate Draft (SD1) format with metadata headers and different numbering systems.

Added draft metadata including author name (Ainoa Naniole), timestamps, and revision numbers.
