MINOR

This diff reflects a change in document format rather than substantive policy. The enrolled version of SCR 197 (a formal attested document with Secretary of State receipt blocks) has been replaced by a web page rendering from the California Legislature website that includes navigation elements, bill metadata, and status tracking. The underlying resolution text - designating November 2026 as California Youth HOPE Month - is substantively identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

Web page navigation elements (skip to content, home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login, search, bill information links) were added as part of the website layout.

Bill metadata was added including author (Senator Arreguin), coauthor (Senator Becker), session (2025-2026 Regular Session), introduction date (August 10, 2026), and status timeline (Introduced, Passed in Senate August 20, Passed in Assembly August 26, Enrolled August 30).

Formal enrolled document elements were removed, including the Secretary of State receipt block with blank fields for date and time, the Deputy Secretary of State attestation line, page numbers, and the 'RESOLUTION CHAPTER' heading.
