What AB 2106 does, verified August 20, 2026

This bill aims to expand the scope of malpractice complaints that can be filed against professionals in certain fields. It would cover complaints against architects, engineers, surveyors, landscape architects, professional geologists, and professional geophysicists. The bill would require a licensed practitioner in the same discipline as the defendant to complete a certificate declaring that the action is reasonable and meritorious. The certificate would need to include information about the practitioner's licensure, experience, lack of interest in the litigation, and professional opinion on the action's merit.
