MINOR

The bill was amended to remove specific dollar amounts for bond issuance and fund appropriation, replacing them with blank fields to be filled in later. The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 3000, and the description was updated to note that the bonds will be issued in four tranches. These changes suggest the legislation is in a drafting or committee review phase where specific financial figures and implementation timelines have not yet been finalized.

Scope change

The scope of funding remains the Condominium Loan Program, but the specific financial commitments are now undefined placeholders rather than fixed amounts.
