MINOR
No substantive changes were made to the bill text. The diff reflects only a difference in document format: the original version uses traditional printed legislative layout with line numbers and page headers, while the new version is a web-rendered copy that includes website navigation elements (menus, search bars, links). The actual statutory language of Section 38000 of the Education Code is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The document was reformatted from a traditional printed bill layout (with line numbers and page markers) to a web-scraped HTML version that includes website navigation chrome such as menu links, search fields, and subscription options. No policy language was added, removed, or altered.
