What changed in the latest version
470 added · 207 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Bill SB 2018 have added several appropriations for different departments, including the Department of Commerce, the Attorney General, and the Department of Career and Technical Education, which helps outline how state funds will be allocated over the next two years. Additionally, there are new reporting requirements for grants managed by the Department of Commerce, aimed at increasing transparency. The title of the office related to legal immigration has also been changed to the Global Talent Office, reflecting a shift in focus towards attracting a diverse workforce.
