MINOR

The bill was amended to change its effective date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, and updated the description to reflect this future date. This change defers the funding for the State Fire Marshal's salary supplement indefinitely, meaning the appropriation will not take effect for nearly a millennium.
