Senate Bill
No. 241
Introduced by Senator Umberg |

An act relating to civil actions.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 241, as introduced, Umberg.
Civil discovery.
Existing law, the Civil Discovery Act, establishes processes for the discovery of information regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter involved in a pending action or to the determination of any motion made in that action, if the matter either is itself admissible in evidence or appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would streamline discovery processes in order to reduce costs to the courts and litigants.
