MINOR

The bill was amended to reflect its progression from the House to the Senate, updating authorship details and revision numbers. The most significant substantive change is the effective date of the legislation, which was moved from July 1, 3000, to November 20, 2121, likely to align with a future fiscal cycle or specific legislative requirement. The core funding amounts and the purpose of the appropriation for Red Hill remediation remain unchanged.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding the appropriation of funds for Red Hill remediation and the requirement for the Department of Land and Natural Resources to seek federal reimbursement remains the same; only the effective date and administrative metadata were modified.
