MINOR
This version of the bill updates the printer's number to reflect its latest status in the legislative process (PN 1309) and reorganizes the effective date and retroactivity sections to appear earlier in the document. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a placeholder image on page 13, likely indicating a future insertion point for text or a table that was not yet finalized in the previous version.
Scope change
The bill's overall scope and applicability remain unchanged, though the structure of the text has been modified to accommodate new content.
TECHNICAL
Updated the printer's number from PN 1258 to PN 1309 throughout the document to reflect the latest version of the bill text.
Moved the 'Effective Date' and 'Retroactivity' sections from the end of the bill to the beginning, likely to clarify when the new appropriation rules take effect.
Inserted a placeholder image on page 13, suggesting that additional text, a table, or a specific provision is scheduled to be added in a future revision.
