SB119

The amendment completely rewrites the bill to replace a vague $101 economic development appropriation with a specific $25,000,000 transfer to create and fund a new capitol restoration fund administered by the Bureau of Human Resources and Administration, fundamentally shifting the bill from general economic enhancement to dedicated capitol building improvements.

The amendment changed the initial transfer amount from $25,000,000 to $101, converting what appears to be a substantive funding mechanism into a placeholder bill that establishes the capitol restoration fund structure without actually providing meaningful capital for the restoration work. This effectively WEAKENS the bill by deferring the real funding decision to a future legislative session.

The amendment changes the funding source from the general fund ($101, a placeholder amount) to the public buildings fund with a substantial actual appropriation of $1,100,000, which STRENGTHENS the bill by providing meaningful resources for capitol restoration instead of a nominal placeholder.

The amendment moved the bill from the engrossed (House committee) version to the enrolled (final) version, which removed the internal legislative markup indicators and section numbering while adding official signature pages and filing information—this is a routine procedural change with no substantive impact on the bill's purpose of creating a capitol restoration fund and transferring $1,100,000 to it.
