MINOR

The bill was amended to correct the effective date from the erroneous year 3000 to 2025, ensuring the emergency funding for the Department of Transportation takes effect immediately. The document also updated its version to reflect the Senate's first reading and adjusted the report title to include the Motor Carrier Law.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on emergency funding for the Department of Transportation to enforce the Motor Carrier Law, but the timeline for implementation was corrected.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2025, fixing a critical error that would have prevented the law from ever taking effect.

TECHNICAL
