MINOR

The bill was revised from the House version (HD1) to the Senate version (SD1), updating administrative metadata and correcting a critical error in the effective date. The most significant substantive change is the correction of the bill's effective date from the impossible year 3000 to 2050, ensuring the law will actually take effect in the future. Additionally, the text was standardized to use lowercase for the ALICE household definition, improving consistency.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains focused on funding housing counseling for ALICE households, but the timeline for implementation has been corrected from a distant future to 2050.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 3000, to July 1, 2050, fixing a clerical error that would have prevented the law from ever taking effect.

TECHNICAL

Administrative metadata, including the bill identifier, author name, and revision numbers, were updated to reflect the Senate version.

DEFINITION

The definition of ALICE households was standardized to use lowercase letters for consistency with the rest of the document.
