The bill text was reformatted from a standard legislative markup to a clean 'As Passed the Senate' version. The substantive content, including all funding amounts, program descriptions, and effective dates, remains unchanged. The primary difference is the removal of original line numbers and the addition of a header indicating the bill has passed the Senate.
