MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative document layout to a structured data format (SD1), but the substantive policy content remains identical. The core provisions authorizing a two-year centralized credentialing pilot program, the advisory committee composition, and the $250,000 annual appropriation are unchanged. The only substantive difference is the effective date, which was moved from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2050, likely as a placeholder or error during the conversion process.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the policy content remains the same.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2050. This is likely a formatting error or placeholder and would require correction before implementation.
