What changed between versions

SB1364 → SB1364_SD1 · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill number was updated from SB 1304 to SB 1364, and the text was reformatted with new metadata headers. The most significant substantive change is the effective date, which was altered from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 2077', likely a placeholder error. The core policy regarding emergency funding for law enforcement payroll and fringe benefits remains unchanged.
Scope change
The scope of the funding and the agencies involved (Department of Accounting and General Services, Judiciary, and Department of Law Enforcement) remain identical to the original version.
TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 2077', which appears to be a clerical error rather than a policy shift.

TECHNICAL

The bill number was changed from SB 1304 to SB 1364, and the document was updated with new metadata headers and formatting typical of a Senate Draft 1 version.
