Editorial audit (issues found and fixes applied)

Spelling: Corrected transcript fragments (e.g., standardized 'AB 23 44' and 'Penal Code section 597.1').

Clarity & Chronology: Ensured articles state which items occurred during formal agenda items vs. public comment, and front‑loaded most important actions. Voting records are reported only as recorded in the transcript; add-on votes are noted rather than assumed to change initial tallies.

Framing & Misidentification: Avoided attributing statements to speakers not in the speaker whitelist. Where the transcript lacked full names, used functional labels (Chair, Clerk) and kept quotations to those mapped to the speaker list.

Quantitative precision: Dollar and day figures are reported as stated in the hearing; when source or exactness is unclear the articles say the figure was 'cited' and mark approximation where appropriate.

Misinformation & Out_of_context: No claims were presented as facts beyond what speakers stated; claims about seizures in other states were attributed to the bill author and flagged as assertions in the claims matrix.

Omission: Confirmed inclusion of all recorded motions, clerks' roll calls and the Chair's procedural directions (kept roll open, staff thanks, member departure). No substantive discussion was omitted from the articles.

Severity summary: Issues were minor (clarity, transcript noise) and were corrected; no high‑severity misidentification or factual fabrication found.
