MINOR
The bill was amended to adjust the total state appropriation amount from $5,425,718,400 to $5,407,718,300, a reduction of approximately $18 million. This change cascades through the budget summary, reducing the adjusted gross appropriation and the state general fund allocation, while keeping individual department line items unchanged. The revision appears to be a technical correction to align the total funding with updated budget calculations rather than a substantive policy shift.
FISCAL
