CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 1109

---

Introduced by Assembly Member Gabriel

February 18, 2021

---

An act to amend Section 1559 of the Civil Code, relating to contracts.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1109, as introduced, Gabriel. Contracts: parties.

Existing law requires contracts to have, among other things, parties capable of contracting. Existing law provides that if a contract is made expressly for the benefit of a 3rd person, the contract may be enforced by that 3rd person before the parties to the contract rescind it.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
