Relative to Women's Equality Day.
This California Senate Resolution designates August 26, 2026, as Women's Equality Day to mark the anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment granting women the right to vote. The text highlights historical milestones in the women's rights movement while acknowledging that significant gaps remain in areas such as fair pay, workplace safety, and access to healthcare. It also notes recent progress, including gender parity in the state Senate and increased representation on the U.S. Supreme Court. No new laws or funding are created; the bill serves solely as a formal commemorative statement.

The resolution's content - recognizing August 26, 2026 as Women's Equality Day - is identical in both versions. The added lines are website navigation elements, metadata, and formatting artifacts.
