My comments are prefixed by #.
A subsection's position in the hierarchy of sections can be determined by the style of numbering used:

# on laws retrieved from https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, the parts up to ARTICLE are generally in the header area of the page
CODE CATEGORY (i.e. GOV)
TITLE 1. TITLE
DIVISION 1.
CHAPTER 1.
ARTICLE 1. Title
# section is below, and is the typical unit retrieved from https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
1234.1. section
(a) subdivision
(1) paragraph
(A) subparagraph
(i) clause
(I) subclause


# References look like this:
