MINOR

No substantive changes to the bill text. The diff reflects only differences in how the same introduced version of AB 1499 is rendered: one as a raw legislative document with line numbers and page breaks, and the other as a web page with navigation menus and formatting. The actual statutory language of Section 16000 of the Vehicle Code is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

Presentation changed from a plain legislative document format (with line numbers, page footers, and column layout) to a web page format with navigation elements (home, accessibility, FAQ, search, etc.) and restructured headings. No policy language was altered.
