MINOR

The substantive text of SR 89 (recognizing March 17, 2026 as Profound Autism Day in California) is unchanged between versions. The only meaningful difference is that the second version adds three coauthors (Senators Choi, Ochoa Bogh, and Seyarto) to the resolution, which was previously attributed solely to Senator Alvarado-Gil. The remaining differences are website navigation elements from the California Legislature's online bill page.

TECHNICAL

Three coauthors were added: Senators Choi, Ochoa Bogh, and Seyarto. The first version listed only Senator Alvarado-Gil as the author.
