AB 328: Indemnity.
What AB 328 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill aims to amend the civil code to clarify the liability of someone who indemnifies another person. The current law states that both the indemnifier and the person being indemnified are jointly and separately liable for any injuries caused by the act. The proposed change makes a nonsubstantive adjustment to this provision, aiming to provide greater clarity in the law.
