MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to SCR 198 between these two versions. The diff reflects a reformatting of the bill from a plain-text legislative document into a web page layout, adding navigation elements, search functionality, and link structures around the same underlying text.

TECHNICAL

The bill was reformatted from a plain-text legislative document into a web page presentation, adding site navigation (home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login), a quick search section, and various informational links (Votes, History, Bill Analysis, Status, etc.).

The title was changed from the formal 'Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 198-Relative to the University of California' format to a shorter web-friendly header: 'Bill Text - SCR-198 University of California: admissions: standardized tests.'
