California AB1079 modifies civil appeals to prevent stay of enforcement for certain election-related judgments.

California AB1079 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to ensure that the perfecting of an appeal does not stay enforcement of a judgment or order in the trial court if the trial court finds that a party's at-large method of election or election district boundaries violate the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 or the FAIR MAPS Act of 2023. The bill also requires the party found to have violated these acts to reimburse county elections officials for costs incurred due to the enforcement of the trial court's judgment or order.
