The amendment delays the implementation of the two-year pilot program by one year and reduces the number of pilot 
program sites from two to one. This eliminates General Fund appropriations in fiscal year 2025-26 and reduces 
General Fund appropriations in fiscal year 2026-27 by 50%. Federal Expenditures Fund and Federal Block Grant 
Fund allocations are adjusted accordingly.
