MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a standard legislative format to a structured data template (SD1), but the substantive policy content remains largely unchanged. The most significant substantive change is the effective date, which was moved from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2050. Additionally, the appropriation section was modified to explicitly include the funding for three full-time equivalent positions.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's applicability remains the same; it still funds the cesspool compliance pilot grant project for low- and moderate-income property owners in priority areas.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2050, which is a significant delay in when the funding becomes active.

FISCAL

The appropriation section was updated to explicitly state that the $5,000,000 funding includes the establishment of three full-time equivalent (3.0 FTE) positions.

TECHNICAL

The document format was converted from a standard legislative bill layout to a structured data template (SD1), which changes the visual presentation but not the legal text.
