CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2015–2016 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 116

Introduced by Senator Vidak

January 14, 2015

An act to amend Section 1250.120 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to eminent domain.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 116, as introduced, Vidak. Eminent domain proceedings.
Under existing law, certain government entities are empowered to obtain private property for public use through the power of eminent domain proceedings. Existing law requires that eminent domain proceedings commenced by serving the summons by publication include, in addition to the summons, a description of the property sought to be taken.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this provision.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 1250.120 of the Code of Civil Procedure is amended to read:

1250.120.
 (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the form and contents of the summons shall be as in civil actions generally.
(b) Where process is served by publication, in addition to the summons, the publication shall describe the property sought to be taken in a manner reasonably calculated to give persons any person with an interest in the property actual notice of the pending proceeding.
