HB678 Reengrossed HB678 Engrossed · 2 edits · May 12, 2025
MINOR
The bill was reengrossed to remove a repealed constitutional section (10.5(B)) from the list of amendments and to correct a numbering error in the new text for Section 10.3(D). These changes ensure the bill accurately reflects the current legal landscape and fixes a typo in the new text that duplicated the word 'appropriation'.
TECHNICAL

Removed the reference to repealing Article VII, Section 10.5(B) from the bill's purpose statement, as that section was already repealed in the previous version.

Corrected a typo in the new text of Section 10.3(D) by removing the duplicate word 'appropriation' from the phrase 'No appropriation appropriation, transfer, or deposit'.
