MINOR
The bill was amended to recommit it to the Local Government Committee for further review and to update the legal description of the land being transferred.

SCOPE
The specific land parcel authorized for transfer was completely rewritten to describe a larger area (9.73 acres) with new boundary lines starting at Pulaski Road and Park Avenue, replacing the previous 1.65-acre plot in Halesite.
TECHNICAL
