The most significant substantive change is the alteration of the bill's effective date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, effectively delaying the implementation of the funding requirements. Additionally, the specific dollar amount appropriated in Section 2 was removed, leaving a blank space for future legislative action.

TIMELINE
