MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions of ACR 207. The diff reflects a transition from a formatted legislative document (with line numbers and page headers) to a web page rendering of the same bill on the California legislature website. All WHEREAS clauses and Resolved clauses are identical in content.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a printed legislative document with line numbers and page breaks into a web page layout, adding navigation elements (home, accessibility, FAQ, search), a Digest Key section showing Fiscal Committee: NO, and website-specific links (Votes, History, Bill Analysis, Compare Versions, Status, etc.).
The title line was slightly reformatted to include the session designation in parentheses: 'ACR-207 California Hindu American Awareness and Appreciation Month.(2025-2026)'
