MINOR

The bill text was reformatted with metadata headers and metadata fields added, but the core legislative content remains substantively unchanged. The only policy change is the effective date being moved from July 1, 2025 to May 13, 2040, which appears to be an error rather than an intentional policy shift.

Scope change

No substantive change to scope or applicability; the bill still applies to county permitting agencies in Hawaii for state project permits.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025 to May 13, 2040, which is likely a clerical error rather than an intentional policy change.

TECHNICAL

Metadata headers and fields were added to the document, including bill numbers, dates, and version information.

Original formatting markers and page headers were removed during the conversion process.
