MINOR

The only substantive change is updating the recognized year from May 2025 to May 2026 in the resolution designating California Rail Month. The bill was originally introduced in May 2025 for the 2025-2026 session, and the Senate amendment in March 2026 shifted the recognition to the following year. All other differences are formatting changes between the formal legislative document layout and the web-published version.

TIMELINE

The resolution now recognizes May 2026 as California Rail Month instead of May 2025, shifting the commemorative designation forward by one year.
