MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions of SB 333. The diff reflects a reformatting from a chaptered document layout (with page numbers and traditional statutory formatting) to a web-based bill text display (with navigation menus, search tools, and updated page structure). The actual legislative content - the tax authorization, rate limits, voter approval requirements, and dates - is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a chaptered statutory layout to a web-based bill text page. Navigation elements (menus, search, links) were added and traditional formatting (page numbers, centered headers) was replaced with web styling. No policy content changed.
