MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The diff reflects a change in document format from a plain-text chaptered legislative document to a web page rendering of the same bill text on the California legislature's website. All WHEREAS clauses, resolved sections, and the legislative counsel's digest are identical in content.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted from a plain-text chaptered version to an HTML web page layout, adding navigation elements (skip to content, home, FAQ, sitemap, search boxes, bill tracking links) that are part of the website interface and not part of the legislative text itself.
