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repealed. 
   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2016, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted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.
