MODERATE

This bill was revised to shift from immediately implementing a transportation demand management program to first developing a plan for such a program. The Department of Transportation was added as a key partner alongside the Department of Accounting and General Services, and the effective date was moved to a future year (2026) to allow time for planning and reporting.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from an immediate mandate to establish and run a program to a requirement to develop a comprehensive plan for the program. The Department of Transportation is now explicitly included as a co-administrator and partner in the planning process.

REQUIREMENT

The primary requirement changed from establishing and implementing a program immediately to developing a plan for the program.

The Department of Transportation was added as a required partner alongside the Department of Accounting and General Services for planning and administration.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 2025, to January 1, 2491, and a new requirement was added to submit a report to the legislature by 2026.

FISCAL

Appropriated funds are now designated specifically for the development of the plan and positions, rather than for the immediate operation of the program benefits.

TECHNICAL

The legislative text was updated to reflect the shift from an active program to a planning phase, including changes to section numbering and descriptions.
