MINOR

The bill was amended to change the recipient of appropriated funds from the Oregon Ocean Science Trust to the Department of State Lands (DSL). The original version directed money to the Ocean Science Trust, while the A-Engrossed version directs it to DSL, which then deposits funds into the Oregon Ocean Science Fund for the same research purposes.

Scope change

The bill's scope shifted from funding the Oregon Ocean Science Trust directly to funding the Department of State Lands, which will administer the funds through the Oregon Ocean Science Fund.

FISCAL

Changed the recipient of $3,000,000 in appropriated funds from the Oregon Ocean Science Trust to the Department of State Lands.

ELIGIBILITY

Updated the summary and digest to reflect that the Department of State Lands, rather than the Ocean Science Trust, will receive and manage the grant funds.
