MINOR

The bill was amended to change the effective date from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2050, effectively delaying the program's start. The text was also updated to replace the colloquial term 'people' with 'individuals' for consistency, and the funding section was modified to remove specific dollar amounts, leaving a blank space for future appropriation decisions.

Scope change

The scope of applicability remains the same, targeting chronically houseless individuals with serious brain disorders, but the implementation timeline has been significantly altered.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2050, meaning the program will not begin until the end of the year 2050.

FISCAL

Specific dollar amounts previously listed for the program's funding were removed and replaced with a blank space, indicating the exact budget must be determined later.

TECHNICAL

The term 'people' was consistently replaced with 'individuals' throughout the text to improve formal consistency.
