MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to ACR 210. The diff reflects a transition from an official chaptered document format to a web page text extraction of the same bill. All resolution language, WHEREAS clauses, and the legislative counsel's digest remain identical between versions.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a clean chaptered legislative document (with page numbers and official layout) into a web page text rendering that includes navigation elements such as 'skip to content,' 'home,' 'accessibility,' 'FAQ,' search fields, and site menu items. The underlying policy content is unchanged.
