  "verification_note": "The Legislative Counsel's database and California Public Law differ, and the text here follows the official database. This section prescribes a statutory form, and two parts of it do not appear on the independent publisher's page: the sentence “A seller may request to purchase some or all of these documents, but shall not be required to purchase ALL of the documents listed on this form.” and the form line “Date Form Completed”. Both are present in the official database in the 2023 publication as well as the current one, so this is how that publisher renders the form rather than a recent amendment either source has missed. Eight citation lists also read “Sections” officially where that publisher prints “Section”.",
