MINOR

The bill was updated from the first Senate reading to the second, primarily changing the effective date from July 1, 2026, to September 9, 2129, likely due to a clerical error. Minor text formatting adjustments were also made to the section headers and the summary description.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it still appropriates funds to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to address the waiting list for homestead applicants.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2026, to September 9, 2129, which appears to be a significant clerical error given the year.
