01/21/25 - Introduced → AB9 · 2 edits

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The legislative text, digest, and all sections are identical. The differences are limited to formatting and presentation: the bill was republished with a more descriptive header title (ABX1-9 Budget Act of 2024), a slightly different session name format, and website navigation elements from the source platform.

TECHNICAL

The bill header changed from a plain 'ASSEMBLY BILL No. 9' to 'Bill Text - ABX1-9 Budget Act of 2024,' and the session designation was reformatted from '2025-26 first extraordinary session' to '2025 - 2026 1st Ext.'

Website navigation elements (skip to content, home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login, search fields, and other UI components) were included in the second version, reflecting a different source or publication format.
