MODERATE

This bill was amended to add two additional Senators to the sponsor list and update the bill's status to reflect Senate adoption. The most significant substantive change is the modification of the funding timeline and amount: the bill now specifies that $5,000,000 will be appropriated in fiscal years 2027 through 2030, with a $250,000 adjustment noted in the text, rather than the previous language that only mentioned fiscal year 2027 and thereafter. The bill also includes administrative changes such as adding a committee report status and approval signatures.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding the duration of funding was expanded from an unspecified period starting in FY 2027 to explicitly cover fiscal years 2027 through 2030.

FISCAL

The appropriation timeline was changed from 'fiscal year 2027 and each fiscal year thereafter' to 'fiscal years 2027 through 2030' with a $250,000 amount adjustment noted in the text.

TECHNICAL

Two additional Senators (McCray and Hettleman) were added to the sponsor list.

Bill status was updated to include 'Committee Report: Favorable with amendments', 'Senate action: Adopted', and 'Read second time: February 28, 2025'.

Approval signatures for the Governor, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Delegates were added.
