What changed between versions

HB1164_HD1 → HB1164_SD1 · 2 edits
MINOR
This bill version transitioned from the House to the Senate, updating the bill number to SD1 and revising the effective date of the act from July 1, 3000, to January 1, 3000. The report title was slightly reordered to place 'DOT' first, and the summary text was adjusted to reflect the Senate version identifier. These changes primarily involve administrative updates and a shift in the timeline for when the new transportation funding rules take effect.
Scope change
The bill's substantive scope regarding the authorization of Highway Revenue Bonds for the Department of Transportation remains unchanged, but the effective date for implementation has been moved forward from July to January.
TIMELINE

The effective date for the act was changed from July 1, 3000, to January 1, 3000, meaning the new funding rules will begin earlier than originally drafted in the House version.

TECHNICAL

The bill identifier was updated from HD1 (House Draft) to SD1 (Senate Draft), and the report title was reordered to list 'DOT' as the first item.
