MODERATE

The bill was amended to remove all specific funding amounts and job descriptions, replacing them with blank fields for future appropriation. The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2050, which is likely a clerical error. The original text establishing eight specific aquatic biologist and technician positions was deleted.

Scope change

The bill's scope was reduced from establishing eight specific funded positions to a framework that requires future appropriation of specific amounts and positions.

FISCAL

All specific dollar amounts for funding were deleted, leaving blank fields in Section 2.

REQUIREMENT

The detailed list of eight specific job positions (biologists and technicians) was removed from Section 2.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2050, which appears to be an unintended clerical error.

TECHNICAL

Metadata and formatting information from a legislative tracking system was added to the document.
