HB813 → HB813_HD1 · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was amended to change its effective date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 3000, likely to prevent the law from taking effect prematurely. Additionally, the bill's title was updated to reflect it as House Bill 813, HD1, and the author's name was changed from Zoe to Alannys. These changes adjust the timeline for when the new retirement rules apply and update the administrative metadata of the legislation.

Scope change

The scope of applicability is significantly altered by delaying the effective date of the new retirement provisions from 2025 to the year 3000, effectively postponing the implementation of the eligibility changes until a distant future.

TIMELINE
