MINOR

The bill was revised from a House Draft version to a Senate Draft version, updating metadata such as author names and revision numbers. Substantively, the text was slightly rephrased to clarify that the legislation applies to the 'State' rather than just 'Hawaii' and streamlined the funding section by removing specific line-item allocations for development versus maintenance, while keeping the total appropriation and sunset date intact.

Scope change

The scope of applicability was broadened by changing references from 'Hawaii' to 'the State' to ensure consistent legal terminology throughout the document.

TECHNICAL

Updated author names from Steven Lum to Gregory LaMontagne and Ainoa Naniole, and changed the document type from House Draft to Senate Draft with updated revision numbers.

SCOPE

Rephrased the legislative findings and purpose to refer to 'the State' instead of 'Hawaii' for consistency and clarity.

FISCAL

Streamlined the appropriation section by removing specific line-item breakdowns for development and maintenance costs, consolidating them into a single provision while maintaining the total funding amount and sunset date.
