CHAPTER 10, STATUTES OF 2006 - AB 424

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Assembly Bill 424 contained an urgency clause which caused the bill to go into immediate effect.  The reason for this urgency can be found in section 5 of Chapter 10.

 

The Office of Senate Floor Analyses prepared a Third Reading analysis of Assembly Bill 424 as last amended on January 17, 2006 which described the provisions in this bill as follows:

 

DIGEST:  This bill provides that “person” as used in the Penal Code identity theft provisions includes a natural person, firm, association, organization, partnership, business trust, company, corporation, limited liability company, or public entity.  This bill expands the definition of “personal identifying information” under the Penal Code to include “an equivalent [to those already provided] form of identification.”
