The bill has progressed through initial readings and is currently under review by the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget.

  • Implementation timeline – The effective date provisions may create compliance challenges for agencies or local governments, particularly if the transition period is deemed too short
  • Fiscal impact – The bill likely affects state agency operations and local government finances; disputes may emerge over cost-sharing arrangements or unfunded mandates imposed on municipalities and counties
