California Legislature—2015–16 Regular Session

Assembly Bill No. 555

Introduced by Assembly Member Alejo

February 23, 2015

An act to repeal Section 630.12 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to civil actions.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 555, as introduced, Alejo. Civil actions.

Existing law establishes procedures for conducting expedited jury trials in civil cases where the parties sign a consent order to stipulate that those procedures apply. Pursuant to these procedures, all parties agree to waive all rights to appeal and to move for a directed verdict or to make any posttrial motions, except as provided. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2016.

This bill would delete that repeal date, thereby extending the operation of these provisions indefinitely.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.  

Section 630.12 of the Code of Civil Procedure
is repealed.

begin delete

630.12.  

This chapter shall remain in effect only until January
1, 2016, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2016, deletes or extends
that date.
