Finance and Appropriations Substitute → Enrolled · 1 edit · Mar 10, 2025

MINOR

The bill was finalized into an enrolled act, changing its status from a Senate substitute to official law. The primary substantive change is a minor formatting correction in the definition of 'Transmission of,' which removed an extra space between the comma and the word 'transmit.' No new policies, funding, or eligibility criteria were added.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains unchanged as it is now the final enacted version of the original proposal.

TECHNICAL

Corrected a spacing error in the definition of 'Transmission of,' changing 'Transmission of,' 'transmit' to 'Transmission of,' 'transmit'.
