MINOR

This diff reflects the standard transition from the enrolled version to the chaptered (published) version of SCR 137, which designates March 15, 2026 as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Day. No substantive policy changes were made; all differences are formatting and publishing-related, such as removing signature blocks and adoption dates, adding the official California authenticated header, and renumbering pages to match the chapter number (97).

TECHNICAL

Signature blocks, adoption dates, Secretary of State receipt language, and Deputy Secretary of State attestation were removed as part of the standard enrolled-to-chaptered conversion.

Official header 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGICAL MATERIAL' was added to identify this as the published statutory text.

Page numbering changed from bill number 98 to chapter number 97, and headers changed from 'SCR 137' to 'Res. Ch. 97' to reflect its placement in the official statutes.
