The updated version of House Bill 2895 includes an appropriation of $50 million from the state general fund to the crisis contingency and safety net fund for the fiscal year 2019-2020, which was not explicitly stated in the earlier version. Additionally, the reversion date for unspent funds has been extended from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2022.
