MINOR

The bill was amended to change the effective date of the appropriation from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, and to update the funding amount line item to a blank placeholder. These changes significantly alter the timeline for when the funds become available and modify the financial record, though the core purpose of funding the career criminal prosecution unit remains the same.

Scope change

The bill's applicability is now restricted to fiscal year 2025-2026, but the funds will not take effect until July 1, 3000, effectively delaying the program's operation by over 75 years.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, meaning the appropriated funds will not be usable for nearly a century.

FISCAL

The specific dollar amount line in the appropriation section was replaced with a blank placeholder, removing the explicit sum of $747,267 from the text.

TECHNICAL

The bill title was updated to include 'H.D. 1', and the description was slightly reworded to use 'funds' instead of 'moneys' and added the effective date notation.
