MINOR

The bill text was reformatted and metadata was added, but the core legislative content remains unchanged. The only substantive change is the effective date, which was moved from 'upon approval' to July 1, 2050, likely as a placeholder or error. All policy provisions regarding insurance coverage for additional living expenses during emergencies remain the same.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 2050', which appears to be a placeholder or error rather than an intentional policy change.
