	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2154, Jones. Appeals in civil actions: stay of enforcement.
   Existing law provides that, unless an undertaking is given, the
perfecting of an appeal shall not stay the enforcement of a judgment
or order for money or the payment of money, or for costs awarded
pursuant to specified provisions.
   This bill would provide that the perfecting of an appeal shall
also not stay the enforcement of a judgment or order for attorney's
fees or costs, or both, awarded in a proceeding under the Family
Code, unless an undertaking is given.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 917.75 is added to the Code of Civil Procedure,
immediately following Section 917.7, to read:
   917.75.  The perfecting of an appeal shall not stay enforcement of
the judgment or order of the trial court awarding attorney's fees or
costs, or both, if the judgment or order appealed from was rendered
in a proceeding under the Family Code, unless an undertaking is given
in a sum and upon conditions fixed by the trial court.
