The bill text was reformatted from the official chaptered document layout (with page numbers, centered headers, and 'Ch. 395' markers) into a web page format with different line breaks and spacing.

Web navigation and UI elements were added, including site links (home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login), search fields, bill tracking tools, and version history dropdowns.

Official document formatting elements were removed, including page numbers, the 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGICAL MATERIAL' header, and centered section markers.

Added 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' header and 'CHAPTER 395' designation, indicating the bill has been signed into law.

Removed legislative process language including Assembly passage date (September 10, 2025), Senate passage date (September 9, 2025), clerk signatures, and the blank governor receipt date line.

Added the Governor's approval date: October 6, 2025, and filing date with the Secretary of State on the same day.

The requirement that construction work be performed under a project labor agreement (PLA) in the Long-Duration Energy Storage Program now has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2026, or a later date specified in commission guidelines adopted no later than July 1, 2026. Previously the prohibition was immediate.

The requirement for eligible projects at facilities with a record of air permit violations to develop a separate pollution remediation plan now has the same delayed effective date of January 1, 2026, or a date in guidelines adopted by July 1, 2026.

In the Industrial Decarbonization and Improvement of Grid Operations Program, the bill replaces language requiring projects to 'create high-road jobs, include project labor agreements or prevailing wages, and contain a workforce training component' with a more specific provision making construction projects ineligible for financial incentives unless work is performed under a PLA, also effective after January 1, 2026 or a date in guidelines adopted by July 1, 2026.

The legislative findings section rewords the description of the bank's obligation from adopting 'a climate catalyst financing plan' to adopting 'plans for specified categories of climate catalyst projects,' clarifying that multiple category-specific plans are required.

The program name was changed from 'Climate Catalyst Revolving Loan Fund' to 'Climate Catalyst Revolving Fund,' removing the word 'Loan.' This broadens the program's characterization beyond strictly loan-based financial assistance.

Implementation of financial assistance for the new industrial decarbonization category of climate catalyst projects is now made contingent upon an appropriation by the Legislature, adding a funding gate that was not present in the prior version.

The deadline for the commission to adopt guidelines (related to project labor agreement requirements and pollution remediation plans) was extended from July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2027. This change appears in both the Long-Duration Energy Storage Program and the Industrial Grid Support and Decarbonization Program sections.

Specific fiscal year start dates were removed: the requirement that the bank begin meeting and conferring 'beginning in the 2021-22 fiscal year' and that adoption of a financing plan authorize financial assistance 'beginning in the 2023-24 fiscal year' are no longer included. The requirements now apply without those specific start dates.

The requirement that initial clean energy transmission projects funded under the program must support delivery of zero-carbon firm electricity from new resources located in the Salton Sea region was removed, broadening the scope of eligible transmission projects beyond that specific geographic focus.

Projects involving the performance of work by contractors in the construction industry are now ineligible for financial incentives under the Industrial Decarbonization and Improvement of Grid Operations Program unless the work is performed under a project labor agreement.

Removed provisions establishing a thermal energy storage grant program administered by eligible local air pollution control districts to provide funds for decarbonization of facilities' use of heat and power, including grants for early compliance with zero nitrogen oxides emissions limits and authorization for local districts to establish additional eligibility guidelines.

Removed the requirement that no less than a specified percentage of program funds be annually available for the Industrial Decarbonization and Improvement of Grid Operations Program, and removed authorization for the commission to provide funds from other sources for the program.

Fixed a typo in the digest changing 'high road high-road jobs' to 'high-road jobs.'

Updated the amendment date from March 25, 2025 to June 2, 2025, with the prior date retained as a secondary line. Page numbering shifted from 98 to 97.

Added Assembly Member Zbur as a coauthor on the bill.

Fixed duplicate subsection labels in Section 25640 (definitions). The introduced version had two separate '(b)' and two separate '(c)' labels; the amended version consolidates them into a clean (a) through (d) sequence.

The phrase 'high road jobs' in Section 25641 appears duplicated as 'high road high-road jobs' in the amended text, which is a drafting error rather than an intentional policy change.

The phrase 'renewable energy energy' in Section 25645 (preference criteria) appears to be a word duplication that was present in the introduced version and may have been corrected in the amendment.
