What changed between versions

HB85 → HB85_HD1 · 3 edits

MINOR

This bill version (HB85_HD1) appears to be a draft or template file containing metadata and formatting artifacts rather than a final legislative text. The substantive policy content remains the same as the previous version, but the effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which is likely an error. The bill aims to restore conveyance tax revenue allocation to the Land Conservation Fund.

Scope change

No substantive scope change; the bill's applicability to Hawaii's Land Conservation Fund remains the same.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 3000, which appears to be a clerical error rather than an intentional policy change.

TECHNICAL

Added metadata headers, file information, and formatting artifacts typical of a draft document template.

Removed original header formatting and page numbering consistent with a different document template.
