S7159 → S7159A · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to add a funding limitation, requiring that payments for code enforcement training only occur if sufficient money has been appropriated by the state. Additionally, the bill's procedural status was updated to reflect that it has been reported favorably by the Housing Committee and is now being reviewed by the Finance Committee.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed regarding financial liability; it now explicitly conditions the payment of training costs on the availability of state funds.
FISCAL

Added a clause stating that training payments are subject to the amounts appropriated for this purpose, preventing the state from being obligated to pay if no budget is allocated.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill header and introductory text to reflect its new procedural status, including favorable reporting from the Housing Committee and recommitment to the Finance Committee.
