The most critical change is the increase in total funding from a placeholder $100 to over $2.18 billion, reflecting the actual budget request. Additionally, the bill now includes a detailed line-item breakdown of expenses, such as staff salaries, facility maintenance, and specific grant programs, replacing the previous generic summary.

The scope expanded from a placeholder document to a comprehensive budget bill detailing specific funding allocations for the Department of Corrections, including new sections for offender success administration and field operations.

FISCAL

The total appropriation amount was increased from a placeholder $100 to $2,184,138,100, with specific allocations for state general funds, federal revenues, and special revenue funds.

New detailed line-item sections were added for Departmental Administration, Offender Success Administration, Field Operations, and Correctional Facilities, specifying exact dollar amounts and full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for each.
