MINOR

This bill was converted from a standard legislative draft to a Microsoft Word document format, resulting in significant formatting changes and a critical error in the effective date. The substantive policy content regarding health insurance requirements for the Employer-Union Trust Fund remains unchanged, but the effective date was incorrectly set to July 1, 3000 instead of July 1, 2025.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the policy requirements for the Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund remain the same.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which is likely a clerical error that needs correction.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from plain text legislative markup to a Microsoft Word document with metadata headers, affecting how the bill is processed and displayed.

Removed original legislative header information including chamber designation and bill number formatting.
