What changed between versions

03/10/26 - Chaptered → SCR122 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The diff reflects a change in document presentation format: the formal chaptered legislative document (with page numbers, headers, and authentication markings) was replaced by a web page rendering of the same bill text from the California legislature website. All WHEREAS clauses, Resolved sections, and the legislative counsel's digest are identical in content.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a formal chaptered legislative document (with 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGISLATIVE MATERIAL' header, page numbers, and 'Res. Ch. 14' running headers) to a web page layout including navigation menus, search boxes, sidebar links, and bill tracking tools.
