SB119

The amendment fundamentally redirects the bill from making a vague $101 appropriation for general economic health into a specific $25,000,000 transfer to a newly created Capitol Restoration Fund dedicated to restoring and improving the state capitol building, with strict controls requiring legislative approval for spending. This NARROWS and REDIRECTS the bill from broad economic purposes to a focused infrastructure project for the capitol.

The amendment reduces the initial transfer to the capitol restoration fund from $25,000,000 to $101, which WEAKENS the bill by leaving the fund with only a placeholder amount rather than the substantial funding originally intended for capitol restoration work.

The amendment increases the transfer amount from a placeholder $101 to $1,100,000 and changes the funding source from the general fund to the public buildings fund, substantially STRENGTHENING the bill by providing a realistic appropriation for capitol restoration work.

This amendment converted the bill from its engrossed working form to its final enrolled form for signature, adding standard legislative certification pages and signature lines for the Governor and Secretary of State without changing the bill's substantive provisions (the $1,100,000 transfer to create the capitol restoration fund remains unchanged). The change is procedural rather than substantive—it reflects the final processing stage of an already-passed bill.
