MODERATE
The bill text has been updated to reflect a new session year (2026) and a revised bill identifier. The most significant change is the removal of the specific referral to the Appropriations committee, replacing it with a standard notice directing users to the General Assembly website for a complete list of sponsors and a new referral to Rules, Calendar, and Operations. These changes appear to be administrative updates related to the bill's filing and tracking rather than substantive policy shifts.
