HB1588_HD1 → HB1588_SD1 · 3 edits

MINOR

This bill version was updated from a House Draft (HD1) to a Senate Draft (SD1), reflecting a shift in legislative processing. The most significant substantive change is the correction of the effective date from the placeholder year 3000 to 2050, ensuring the law will actually take effect in the future. Additionally, the description was updated to clarify that the appropriated funds are for 'moneys' rather than just 'funds', and the program title was capitalized for consistency.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on establishing a noise detection camera program within the Department of Transportation, but the timeline for implementation has been corrected to a realistic future date.

TIMELINE

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

DESCRIPTION

The bill summary was updated to change 'Appropriates funds' to 'Appropriates moneys' and capitalized 'Noise Detection Camera Program' for formal consistency.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting updates were applied to the header information, including changing the author name from Jeremy Patton to Paul Kanoho and updating the bill revision numbers and dates.
