California AB1908 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to allow courts to enforce settlement agreements in civil actions.

California AB1908 amends Section 664.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure to allow courts to enforce settlement agreements in civil actions. This applies if the agreement is in writing and signed by the claimant and the local public entity or its authorized representatives. The agreement must expressly state that it is enforceable. The court retains jurisdiction if a party files a notice that a written settlement agreement required of all parties was not signed by all parties. The act is an urgency statute, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety.
