MODERATE

The bill was amended to add a House Designation (HD1) and update metadata, while significantly altering the legislative text to change the fund's purpose from addressing climate change impacts to a broader scope. The appropriation amount was removed to allow flexible funding, and the effective date was drastically delayed from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, effectively deferring the law's implementation.

Scope change

The scope of the fund's purpose was broadened from specifically addressing climate change impacts to a more general 'comprehensive action,' and the specific appropriation amount was removed to allow flexible funding levels.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, delaying implementation by over 75 years.

FISCAL

The specific appropriation of $60,000,000 for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 was removed, allowing the legislature to determine the amount later.

SCOPE

The legislative findings and purpose were expanded from focusing on mitigating climate change impacts to a broader mandate of comprehensive action.

TECHNICAL

House Designation (HD1) and updated administrative metadata were added to the document header.
