MINOR

The bill was amended to change its effective date from immediate approval to July 1, 3000, and updated the report title to include the Department of Transportation. The core policy regarding the sale of ocean-bordering property remains unchanged, but the text was slightly cleaned to remove a redundant semicolon. Metadata fields were also updated to reflect the House of Representatives' first reading version.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 3000', likely as a placeholder to prevent immediate implementation.

TECHNICAL

The report title was updated to explicitly mention the Department of Transportation (DOT) in addition to counties.

A redundant semicolon was removed from the clause regarding the sale of ocean-bordering property to improve grammatical flow.
