MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative document into a modern web page layout with navigation menus and search functionality. The substantive legislative content regarding capital appropriations for the University of Minnesota and state colleges remains unchanged, though the formatting now includes new text markers and line number references typical of digital bill tracking systems.
TECHNICAL
The document structure changed from a plain text legislative format to a web page interface with navigation menus, search bars, and footer links for the Minnesota Legislature website.
Line numbering and revision metadata were reorganized to match digital bill tracking standards, with new text markers added to indicate formatting changes.
Web navigation elements including skip links, menu options for House and Senate, committee lists, and legislative resources were added as interface elements.
