What changed between versions

As Passed by the House Substitute (H-1) · 3 edits
MINOR
The House substitute (H-1) for SB 878 makes no substantive policy changes to the appropriations bill. All dollar amounts, department allocations, fiscal years, and legal provisions remain identical between the two versions. The only differences are in document formatting: the layout was reorganized from a spread-out format with line numbers on separate lines into a more compact format with inline line numbers, page headers were added, and minor capitalization changes were made to the enacting clause.
TECHNICAL

Document formatting changed from a layout with line numbers on separate lines interspersed with blank lines to a compact format with line numbers at the start of each content line. Page headers (ERE S06102'26 (H-1) gbmpj4) and page numbers were added throughout.

The bill header changed from 'Senate BILL NO. 878' to 'HOUSE SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL NO. 878', reflecting the House's adoption of a substitute version.

The enacting clause was capitalized from lowercase ('the people of the state of michigan enact:') to uppercase ('THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:').
