No substantive legislative changes were made between these two versions.

The actual bill text of Section 241 is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a plain-text/PDF extraction (with line numbers, page breaks, and column markers) to an HTML web page rendering of the California Legislature site. No changes to the legislative language itself.
