MINOR
The bill was revised from House Draft 1 to House Draft 2, updating internal administrative metadata such as the author's name and version numbers. The most significant substantive change involves a redaction of a specific funding threshold, removing the explicit dollar amount ($25,000,000) that previously triggered the requirement for excess funds to lapse to the state general fund.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains focused on the Automated Speed Enforcement Systems Program, but the specific financial trigger for fund lapses is now undefined in the text.
FISCAL
The specific dollar threshold ($25,000,000) for unencumbered funds that must lapse to the general fund was removed and replaced with a blank space or placeholder.
TECHNICAL
Administrative metadata was updated, changing the bill author from Chris Kobayashi to Shelby Ichiyama and updating the legislative session identifier from H.D. 1 to H.D. 2.
