MINOR

The bill was updated from its introduction to its first engrossment, incorporating amendments made by the legislature. The primary substantive change is the addition of a requirement for the Commissioner of Administration to absorb the costs associated with modifying or replacing signage to reflect the building's new name, ensuring the state covers these expenses rather than shifting them elsewhere.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded slightly to include specific instructions on funding signage updates, while the core action of renaming the building remains unchanged.

FISCAL

Added a mandate for the Commissioner of Administration to cover the costs of modifying or replacing signage to match the building's new name.

TECHNICAL

Updated the document title and section numbering from 'Introduction' to '1st Engrossment' to reflect the bill's current legislative status.

Inserted a new section (Sec. 3) containing a revisor instruction to update the name in official statutes and rules, which was present in the introduction but renumbered in the engrossment.
