MINOR
The bill was formally reenrolled with minor formatting corrections to the session year and act title. The most significant substantive change is a reorganization of the General Fund Resources table, which now lists 'Total General Fund Resources' before 'Available for Appropriation' instead of the reverse order. Additionally, Item 129 was added to the list of sections being amended, and several line numbers were adjusted to reflect these changes.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the changes are primarily procedural and formatting-related.
TECHNICAL
The General Fund Resources table was restructured to place the 'Total General Fund Resources' line above the 'Available for Appropriation' line, reversing the previous order.
Item 129 was added to the list of sections being amended in the bill.
Minor formatting corrections were made to the session year header and act title to reflect the reenrolled status.
