MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a printed legislative document to a plain text version, with minor formatting adjustments and some character encoding issues introduced. The substantive policy content, including funding amounts, authorized positions, and legislative intent, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Header information was updated to reflect the bill's status as 'As Passed the House' instead of 'As Introduced', indicating it has moved through the House committee process.
Formatting changed from a structured printed document layout to plain text, with some special characters (like non-breaking spaces) introduced in the text.
Page headers and footers containing bill tracking numbers (HR13/A841) and session page numbers were removed from the text.
Some special characters were added to the text, likely due to encoding differences between the original printed format and the digital version.
