MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to SCR 136. The diff reflects a transition from a formal chaptered document format to a web-based bill page presentation, adding website navigation elements, version history links, and metadata while preserving the identical resolution text.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a traditional chaptered legislative document (with page numbers, column headers, and 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA / AUTHENTICATED' header) into a web page layout with navigation menus, search tools, and bill metadata sections.

Website interface elements were added including navigation links (home, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login), quick search fields, version history listing (08/11/26 Chaptered, 08/05/26 Enrolled, 02/25/26 Introduced), and action buttons (Track Bill, Add To My Favorites, Share).

A 'Fiscal Committee: NO' designation was added to the bill information section.
