The bill was amended to add Senator Scarcella-Spanton as a sponsor and to include a new eligibility requirement for grant recipients. The amendment requires that eligible entities must own the property or have a lease agreement proving tenant status dating back at least five years before receiving the capital support grant. This change ensures that only long-term occupants or owners of facilities can access the funding, preventing short-term tenants from utilizing state resources.
