SCR 149 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to World Autism Awareness Day.

This bill designates April 2, 2026, as World Autism Awareness Day within the state of California. It directly affects state agencies and the general public by officially recognizing this specific date for awareness activities. The primary mechanism is a simple legislative declaration that adds this observance to the state calendar without creating new laws or funding requirements. Once enacted, the resolution serves as a formal record of the state's acknowledgment of the global observance.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The bill text (all WHEREAS clauses and the three Resolved clauses designating April 2, 2026 as World Autism Awareness Day) is identical in both versions. The difference is purely presentational: the first version is the clean chaptered document format, while the second version appears to be a web page rendering of the same bill from the California legislature website, including navigation menus and site layout elements.

TECHNICAL

The document changed from a clean chaptered text format to a web page layout that includes site navigation elements (home, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login, search fields, bill information links, etc.) surrounding the same resolution text. No words in the operative or preamble portions of the resolution were added, removed, or altered.
