What changed in the latest version
51 added · 45 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to House Bill 298 primarily involve the removal of a section that stated the State Budget Act applies to the bill. This means that the specific rules and guidelines outlined in the State Budget Act won't govern the appropriations made within this bill. The adjustment is significant because it could provide more flexibility in how the allocated funds are managed, which may lead to different funding priorities or spending practices for the Department of Transportation and other agencies involved.
