MINOR

No substantive policy changes exist between these two versions. The diff reflects a change in document format only: the first version is a plain-text legislative document with line numbers, while the second is a web page rendering of the same bill (AB 1718) from the California legislature website, complete with navigation menus and site chrome. The underlying legislative text of Section 44320 of the Education Code is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a plain-text legislative bill (with line numbers and page headers) to a web page capture of the same bill, adding site navigation elements (home, FAQ, search, subscriptions, etc.) while preserving the identical statutory text.
