AB 1908: Settlement agreements: victims’ compensation funding.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 26, 2026

What AB 1908 does, verified August 26, 2026

This bill amends the California Code of Civil Procedure to clarify the validity of a victims' compensation fund established to address payments to victims of childhood sexual assault. The fund is deemed to be in existence upon its authorization by a county board of supervisors. The bill also clarifies that indebtedness, including the victims' compensation fund, is deemed to be in existence on the date of adoption by the governing body of the public agency, regardless of when the tort action judgment or settlement is entered. This change aims to provide clarity and consistency in determining the validity of refunding bonds to refund a tort action judgment.
