Notes

A modest exhibit: the archived page's text layer is garbled by overlapping page elements, and the legible operative content is the recording backlog (documents recorded only through March 10 as of March 21, 2020) and the emergency alert on Board of Equalization hearings; the continuation of the BOE sentence is not legible. Cite for the backlog and the alert only.

Retrieval note

Text read from the PDF text layer and by OCR of the rendered pages; the quoted sentences are the legible ones.
