What changed between versions

08/20/26 - Chaptered ACR227 · 1 edit
MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made. The diff reflects a transition from the official chaptered document format (as filed with the Secretary of State) to a web page rendering of the same resolution on the California legislature website. The actual text of ACR 227, which proclaims July 21, 2026 as Black Women's Equal Pay Day, is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from an official chaptered legislative document (with headers like 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL') to a web page layout that includes navigation menus, search tools, and site links. The resolution text itself is unchanged.
