AB 2290: Civil discovery: oral depositions: transcriptions.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified September 4, 2026

What AB 2290 does, verified September 4, 2026

The bill aims to amend the Code of Civil Procedure to modify the procedures for oral depositions in civil actions. The current law requires that testimony be taken stenographically and then transcribed, but the bill would allow the deposition officer to transmit a certified transcript to the attorney via secure electronic means upon request. This change would provide flexibility and convenience to parties involved in civil cases.
