FISCAL

The text describing the trust fund's investment portfolio was corrected from an erroneous $10.1 trillion to the accurate $10.1 billion.

The effective date of the Act was changed from July 1, 3000, to January 1, 2077.

TECHNICAL

Administrative metadata, including author names, revision numbers, and template IDs, were updated to reflect the Senate version of the bill.
