MINOR
The bill version was updated from the original introduction to House Draft 1, which includes a significant change to the effective date of the tax exemption repeal from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 3000. This delay prevents the immediate loss of tax exemptions for independent sugar cane farmers and contractors of the Patient-Centered Community Care program. Additionally, minor formatting and metadata updates were applied to the document header and text.
Scope change
The scope of the repeal is effectively paused indefinitely by changing the start date to the year 3000, meaning the tax exemptions currently in place will remain active for the foreseeable future.
TIMELINE
