MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to SB 901. The diff reflects a change in document format from a traditional legislative print layout (with line numbers and page headers) to a web-based presentation from the California Legislature website, which adds navigation elements and metadata but leaves the bill text identical.

TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a printed legislative document with line numbers and page headers to a web page layout that includes site navigation (home, accessibility, FAQ, search), bill metadata (date published, version number), and share/track options. The actual statutory text of Section 8760 is unchanged.
