Summary Scoring appears to move from staff to the commissioners themselves.
The bill changes who scores applications for Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grants. It appears to move scoring from a panel of three to five governor's office staff to the commissioners themselves, though this plain-text copy does not clearly mark which words are deleted. Each application would still be scored on how much it affects the local government entity and on any other criteria the commission sets, starting September 1, 2025.
Labels Labels: QUICK READ: 146 WORDS. The bill as filed runs 146 words, counting the existing law it amends and the text it strikes. The median 89R bill as filed runs 441 words (derived, 8,702 graded bills, snapshot Oct 19, 2026).
