What changed between versions

A1785 → A1785A · 2 edits

MINOR

The amended version (A1785A) adds a critical funding condition: payment for code enforcement personnel training is now explicitly subject to legislative appropriation. This means the state is not unconditionally obligated to fund these training payments unless the legislature allocates money for that purpose in the budget. The bill also reflects standard committee amendment process language.

FISCAL

Added the phrase 'Subject to the amounts appropriated for this purpose' at the start of the provision requiring payment for code enforcement personnel training. This makes the funding obligation contingent on the legislature actually appropriating funds, rather than creating an automatic spending mandate.

TECHNICAL

Bill number updated from 1785 to 1785-A to reflect the amended version, and legislative history line updated to show committee discharge and amendment process.
