MINOR

No substantive changes to the bill. The diff reflects only a change in how the document was captured or formatted: the 'to' version includes website navigation elements, headers, and site chrome from the California legislature's online bill page, while the 'from' version shows the clean legislative text with line numbers and page breaks. The actual statutory language of Section 11209 is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a clean legislative text layout (with line numbers and page breaks) to a web-scraped version that includes the full website interface: navigation menus, search boxes, bill information tabs, share links, and site footer elements. No policy language was added, removed, or altered.
