What changed between versions

Enrolled with Governor's Action → Reprinted · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was reprinted from its final enrolled version to a committee version, resulting in the removal of the official title page and the addition of a header indicating it is a successor to HSB 772. The substantive policy content, including all funding amounts, fiscal year dates, and program descriptions, remains unchanged.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; the text represents the same legislative intent as the enrolled version, though it now includes a header identifying it as a successor to a previous bill.
TECHNICAL

Added a header at the top of the document identifying the bill as a reprint of House File 2771, noting it is a successor to HSB 772 and was passed by the House on May 1, 2026.

Removed the original title page and introductory text that formally enacted the bill, as this version is a reprint for committee review rather than the final enrolled law.

Reformatted the document to include page numbers and committee markup symbols (e.g., 'sb/js/md') typical of legislative drafts, replacing the clean text of the final enrolled version.
