What changed between versions

SB3092 SB3092_SD1 · 3 edits
MINOR
This bill was amended to change the effective date from immediate approval to January 1, 2077, and to add the word 'authorized' alongside 'appropriated' in funding sections. These changes clarify that the bill covers both money already allocated and money that may be approved in the future, while the new effective date significantly delays when the funding becomes active.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was altered by setting a future effective date of January 1, 2077, rather than taking effect immediately upon approval.
TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'upon approval' to 'January 1, 2077', delaying the implementation of the emergency appropriations.

FISCAL

The term 'appropriated' was changed to 'appropriated or authorized' in multiple sections to include funds that may be approved in the future, not just those already allocated.

TECHNICAL

The bill title was updated to include 'SD1', and various metadata fields such as author names and revision numbers were updated to reflect the new version.
