MINOR
The bill text appears corrupted with metadata and formatting artifacts mixed into the legislative language, making it impossible to determine substantive policy changes. The core provisions regarding wastewater discharge prohibitions and treatment plant exemptions remain structurally similar between versions, but the document is not in a readable legislative format.
TECHNICAL
The document contains metadata, timestamps, and file artifacts (e.g., 'HB798 HD2', 'Administrator Bill HD.dotm') interspersed with the legislative text, indicating a technical or formatting issue rather than substantive policy changes.
