MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a House Draft version to a Senate Draft version with updated metadata and timestamps. The core legislative content remains substantively unchanged, including the purpose of supporting sea salt manufacturers, the appropriation of funds to the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism, and the FDA guidance requirements. The effective date was modified from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a placeholder or clerical error rather than a policy change.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2050, likely a clerical error since both dates are in the future and the original 3000 date is clearly a placeholder.

TECHNICAL

Document metadata was updated to reflect Senate Draft (SD1) status with new author names, timestamps, and template revision information.

Formatting and markup symbols were standardized between the House Draft and Senate Draft versions.
