What changed between versions

04/06/26 - Amended Assembly AB2322 · 1 edit
MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions of AB 2322. The differences are entirely in document formatting and presentation: the older version uses a traditional legislative layout with line numbers and page headers, while the newer version is a web-based rendering with navigation elements. The actual bill text, including the new CII site definition and the shortened notice period, is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a traditional legislative print layout (with line numbers, page breaks, and formal headers) to a web-based presentation format with navigation menus, quick search, and different structural markup. No policy language was changed.
