ASSEMBLY BILL 96 (SAYLOR – 1919)

CHAPTER 53, STATUTES OF 1919, AB 96

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.

As enacted, Assembly Bill 96 was a single-section bill that amended former Code of Civil Procedure section 1365, precursor to current Probate Code section 8462.  (See Exhibit #1c)  Assembly member Saylor introduced this bill on January 14, 1919.  (See Exhibit #1a)

Assembly Bill 96 was assigned to the Assembly and Senate Committees on Judiciary where policy issues raised by the bill were considered.  (See Exhibit #2)  One amendment was made to Assembly Bill 96.  (See Exhibit #1b)  Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor William Stephens signed the bill on April 15, 1919 as Chapter 53 of the Statutes of 1919.  (See Exhibit #1c and #2)

As introduced, Assembly Bill 96 proposed amendments to section 1365 adding “and sisters” to subdivision (4); previously the language had stood in its own subdivision.  (See Exhibit #1a and contrast with #3)  One amendment was made to the bill on February 28, 1919, and at that time it deleted “personal” from “his personal estate” in the introductory paragraph.  (See Exhibit #1b)  No further amendments were made to the language, and it was then enacted into law.  (See Exhibit #1c and #2)
