Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Modoc build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-modoc/pages/divisions__traffic-division.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-12; 621251 bytes, sha256 633fcf84afbfb475eb3754a8ba72920f7847c10c5e6476f8a6e1719672151071) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page lists “Impose a civil assessment of $300.00” among the actions on a failure to appear or pay; the Financial Hardship and Ability to Pay Your Fine page (carded) warns of “an additional fee of $300” on a delinquent fine, and the Criminal Division page (carded) quotes Penal Code section 1214.1(a) at “up to three hundred dollars ($300)”. The review task asks the court whether a $300 civil assessment is current.
