MINOR

This bill amends the capital advancement contract limits for the Department of Transportation's harbors division, allowing for higher individual and aggregate funding amounts for private partnerships on port projects. The changes also update the bill's effective date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2050, and adjust the associated metadata and template identifiers to reflect the new session version.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding funding thresholds has expanded to allow larger contracts, while the applicability timeline has been significantly delayed.

FISCAL

The text was updated to reflect an increase in the maximum allowable values for individual capital advancement contracts and the total aggregate value per party, removing the old bracketed limits of $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a placeholder or error given the current year.
