Agricultural Labor Relations Board: office.
Summary
Existing law creates the Agricultural Labor Relations Board, consisting of 5 members, within the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. Existing law requires the principal office of the board to be in Sacramento, but authorizes the board to meet and exercise its power at any other place in California. This bill, until January 1, 2028, would eliminate the requirement that the principal office of the board be located in Sacramento and would, instead, require the board to establish an executive or principal office. The bill would make other nonsubstantive changes.

MINOR
The diff is primarily a formatting and presentation change, converting the bill from a traditional legislative document layout to a web page rendering of the same text. The substantive provisions of AB 552 remain unchanged: it would remove the requirement that the Agricultural Labor Relations Board's principal office be in Sacramento (replacing it with a requirement to establish an executive or principal office) until January 1, 2028, and makes nonsubstantive changes to child labor audit reporting. One possible substantive change is the fiscal committee designation shifting from 'no' to 'yes,' indicating the bill may now require fiscal committee review.
FISCAL
The fiscal committee designation appears to have changed from 'no' to 'yes,' meaning the bill would now be subject to fiscal committee review, which can affect the legislative process and timeline.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted from a traditional legislative print layout with line numbers to a web page presentation, adding navigation elements (home, accessibility, FAQ, search, etc.) and removing line-number annotations. No substantive policy language changed.
