Picking a bill at random... CA State Senate 2021-22 SB-54
Here's the human readable version, with changes inlined (a nice touch). https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB54 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
Here's the same in the official format. Note the line numbers in the left margin. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billPdf.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB54&version=20210SB5496AMD https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billPdf.xhtml?bill_...
