MINOR

The bill was reformatted from a traditional legislative document to a structured digital template, with all specific funding amounts and position details removed and replaced with blank fields. This appears to be a technical conversion of the bill's layout rather than a substantive policy change.

TECHNICAL

Removed all specific dollar amounts and position counts (e.g., $647,592, seven probation officer positions) and replaced them with blank fields in the appropriation sections.

Changed the document header from 'HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES' to 'HB114 HD1' and added metadata fields typical of digital document templates.

Replaced the traditional multi-line legislative text with a structured format containing metadata headers and blank form fields for amounts and position counts.
