MINOR
No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The differences are entirely in document formatting and presentation: the first version uses traditional California legislative document layout with line numbers, while the second is a web page rendering of the same bill text with navigation menus and search elements. The underlying amendment to Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure is identical in both.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative document layout (with line numbers and page headers) into a web page format with navigation menus, search fields, and metadata elements. No changes to the actual statutory language were made.
