MINOR

No substantive changes to the bill's content. The diff reflects only a difference in document formatting: the first version is a plain-text rendering of the bill, while the second version is an HTML web page from the California legislature website that includes navigation menus, search tools, and site links around the same bill text.

TECHNICAL

The document changed from a plain-text format to an HTML web page layout. All added lines are website UI elements (navigation bars, search fields, links to related pages, metadata like publication date). The actual legislative text - Section 1 declaring the Legislature's intent to enact future legislation relating to the Political Reform Act of 1974 - is identical in both versions.
