MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a standard legislative format to a structured template format, with the effective date changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2050, and a new section added declaring that the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2025-2026 has already been exceeded. The substantive policy content regarding appropriations for collective bargaining cost items remains unchanged.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding funding for collective bargaining cost items for Unit (6) and excluded counterparts remains the same, but the effective date was extended significantly.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a clerical error rather than an intentional policy change.

REQUIREMENT

A new section was added stating that the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2025-2026 has already been exceeded by $8,551,796 and that the new appropriations will further exceed this limit.
