Relative to National County Government Month.
Senate Resolution 96 designates April 2026 as National County Government Month to recognize the essential services provided by California's 58 counties. This proclamation encourages residents to celebrate the work of county governments, which manage public health, safety, infrastructure, and disaster response. The resolution highlights the historical significance of counties, noting that 2026 marks the 176th anniversary of California's original counties and the state's founding. It also acknowledges the advocacy efforts of the California State Association of Counties in supporting local decision-making and resource allocation.

MINOR
The diff reflects a change from a clean enrolled document format to a web page rendering of the same resolution on the California legislature website. The substantive text of SR 96, which proclaims April 2026 as National County Government Month, is unchanged. The only meaningful addition is the listing of seven coauthors (Senators Blakespear, Caballero, Durazo, Hurtado, McGuire, Wahab, and Wiener) that was not present in the enrolled version.
TECHNICAL
Coauthors were listed: Senators Blakespear, Caballero, Durazo, Hurtado, McGuire, Wahab, and Wiener. This is a procedural attribution change with no policy impact.
Website navigation elements, bill metadata (introduction date of April 6, 2026, status dates), and the Legislative Counsel's Digest section header were added as part of the web page formatting.
