MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft introduction to its enrolled, final version. The primary substantive change is the removal of a detailed 'Contract Summary' section that previously listed specific funding amounts for future option years and explained the reasons for those increases. The final bill retains the emergency approval for the current contract modification but no longer includes the detailed breakdown of future funding options.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding future funding options was narrowed by removing the detailed explanation of option periods two through four.
FISCAL
Removed a detailed contract summary that listed specific not-to-exceed amounts and explanations for option periods two, three, and four.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Human Care Agreement' header and specific administrative details about the provider and selection method that were present in the draft.
Changed the document format from a draft letter and bill introduction to the official enrolled legislative text.
