MINOR

The bill was amended to replace the entire text with a committee substitute that corrects a critical error in the original version. The original bill contained a typo in Section 4 where it stated 'for necessary statewide strategic water infrastructure projects' twice, creating a grammatical error. The amendment fixes this to read 'for necessary for statewide strategic water infrastructure projects' (though this appears to be a minor drafting fix rather than a substantive policy change). Additionally, the title was updated to include 'providing an effective date' and 'declaring an emergency', clarifying the bill's procedural status.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it continues to authorize transfers of pandemic relief funds from various revolving funds back to the Statewide Recovery Fund for reappropriation.

TECHNICAL

Corrected a grammatical error in Section 4 regarding the description of water infrastructure projects.

Added 'providing an effective date' and 'declaring an emergency' to the bill title to clarify procedural elements.

Replaced the entire bill text with a committee substitute version to ensure consistency and accuracy in the legislative record.
