MINOR

The bill was amended to correct a typo in the college name from 'Human Resources' to 'Human Resilience'. The effective date of the law was changed from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, which appears to be a significant clerical error or placeholder. The document metadata and formatting were also updated to reflect House District 1 sponsorship.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's applicability remains focused on the same facility, but the effective date change drastically alters when the law becomes active, potentially delaying implementation indefinitely.
