The two sources disagree on one word: the official database reads “Sections 7233 and 7234 of the Corporations Code” where california.public.law reads “Section”. The plural is what the Legislative Counsel publishes and is what the citation list requires. The same substitution appears at §§ 4210, 5310, 5350 and 5375 — in every case immediately before a list of two or more section numbers, and nowhere else, which is where the second source's own citation-linking rewrites the word.",
