MODERATE

The bill was amended to shift funding from the Higher Education Coordinating Commission to the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, changing the primary recipient from Oregon State University to the Human Access Project while maintaining the same total funding amount. This change alters which agency manages the harmful algal bloom mitigation project, though the partnership between the two organizations remains intact.

The bill's scope changed from funding Oregon State University directly to funding the Human Access Project through the Department of Administrative Services, with Oregon State University now listed as a partner rather than the primary recipient.
