The bill amends Acts 2025, No. 408, specifically addressing the effective date of the act. It changes the effective date from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2025, to ensure the timely operation of the agency that relies on the appropriations provided in the act. The bill also emphasizes that Sections 15 and 20 will take effect immediately upon passage and approval. The General Assembly has declared an emergency, stating that any delay in the effective date could cause irreparable harm to essential governmental programs.

Additionally, the bill includes new language that highlights the importance of the Secretary of State's office, which provides critical services such as election regulation and business entity registration. It notes that an error in the original act could lead to a lapse in funding for this office at the end of the current fiscal year. To prevent this, the bill stipulates that it will become effective immediately upon approval by the Governor, or under specific conditions if not acted upon by the Governor.
