MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its new status as a revised version (S9617A) after committee review. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a sunset provision, ensuring that local governments receiving assistance will continue to get funding until their seven-year eligibility period is complete, even if the act's general effective date arrives sooner.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding the duration of funding assistance was expanded to protect existing recipients from losing funding prematurely.

The bill title and header were updated to indicate it is version 'A', showing it has been amended and recommitted to the Committee on Finance.

SCOPE

A new clause was added to Section 4 to ensure that local governments already receiving aid for up to seven years will continue to receive funding until their specific timeframe is finished, regardless of when the act officially takes effect.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the explanatory text and page numbering to reflect the bill's new version status.
