MINOR

The bill was updated to reflect its first reading by the House of Representatives (H.D. 1) and includes minor formatting adjustments. The most significant substantive change is the effective date in Section 3, which was altered from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, likely as a placeholder or error during the drafting process. The core purpose of funding a consultant to evaluate sites for the Hawaii First Responders Memorial remains unchanged.
