MINOR

This diff reflects a reformatting of AB 1290 from a traditional legislative document layout to a web page presentation. No substantive policy changes were made; the bill text remains identical in both versions. The only difference is the removal of line numbers, page headers, and the old document header, replaced by website navigation elements.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative document layout (with line numbers, page headers, and formal header block) to a web-based presentation format with navigation menus and search tools. The legal language of the bill itself is unchanged.
