MINOR

The substantive content of ACR 134 (Black History Month resolution) is unchanged between the two versions. The diff reflects a change in presentation format: the official chaptered legislative document was replaced with a web-page rendering that includes site navigation elements (menus, search boxes, links) and removes the formal state header. No policy, scope, or legal language was altered.

TECHNICAL

The official state header (STATE OF CALIFORNIA / AUTHENTICATED / ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL) was removed and replaced with website navigation elements such as skip-to-content, home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login, and search fields.

Page numbering, column headers (Res. Ch. 19), and the formal two-column legislative layout were removed in favor of a single-column web page format.
