MINOR

The bill was reformatted from a traditional legislative document to a structured digital template (SD1), adding metadata fields and changing the effective date from July 1, 2025 to April 23, 2057. The core policy content regarding establishing an investigator position and appropriations remains substantively unchanged.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025 to April 23, 2057, which appears to be a clerical error given the context of the 2025 legislative session.

TECHNICAL

Added digital metadata fields including bill numbers, timestamps, revision history, and template identifiers that were not present in the original document.

Removed traditional legislative header formatting and page layout elements associated with the original document structure.
