No. 251
Introduced by Senator Borgeas |

An act to amend Section 377.31 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to civil actions.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 251, as introduced, Borgeas.
Civil actions: Effect of death.
Existing law allows, after the death of a person who commenced an action or proceeding, the decedent’s personal representative or, if none, the decedent’s successor in interest to continue a pending action or proceeding that does not abate, as specified.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
