What changed between versions

HB1035_HD1 → HB1035_SD1 · 5 edits
MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from House Draft 1 (HD1) to Senate Draft 1 (SD1) with significant structural changes including renumbered sections, updated section headers, and modified language around appropriations authority. The substantive policy content regarding funding amounts, eligibility criteria, and fiscal years remains unchanged, as all dollar amounts are still zero and the core provisions for collective bargaining cost items are preserved.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to address public employment cost items for collective bargaining units and excluded state officers/employees for fiscal biennium 2025-2027.
TECHNICAL

Section numbers were reorganized from PART I through PART VI to PART I through PART VII, with corresponding section renumbering from Section 1-13 to Section 1-16.

Language changed from 'appropriated' to 'appropriated or authorized' in multiple sections to reflect different funding mechanisms.

New Sections 13-16 were added to address federal fund allocation, expenditure lapse dates, expenditure ceiling declarations, and effective date (July 1, 2050).

Metadata headers and formatting artifacts from the original HD1 version were removed in the SD1 version.

Section 15 was added to declare that the state general fund expenditure ceiling has been exceeded, with placeholders for specific dollar amounts.
