MINOR

The substantive text of SR 97 (recognizing May 2026 as Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Month) is unchanged between versions. The differences are primarily presentational: the new version is a web page capture from the California Legislature site that adds navigation elements, a Legislative Counsel's Digest section, and lists coauthors (Senators Cabaldon and Choi) who were likely added during the April 28, 2026 amendment.

TECHNICAL

Coauthors Senators Cabaldon and Choi are now listed alongside original author Senator Wahab, indicating they joined the resolution during the April 28, 2026 Senate amendment.

A Legislative Counsel's Digest section was added, restating the resolution text in digest format.

The document format changed from a clean enrolled legislative document to a web page capture including site navigation, search tools, version history, and bill status information (Introduced April 6, Amended April 28, Passed May 11, Enrolled May 12, 2026).
