California AB2106 modifies malpractice actions involving architects, engineers, or surveyors.

California AB2106 amends Section 411.35 of the Code of Civil Procedure to require attorneys to file a certificate of merit in malpractice actions involving architects, engineers, or surveyors. This certificate must declare that the attorney has reviewed the case, consulted with a licensed professional, and obtained an opinion that the defendant was negligent. If the attorney cannot obtain the required consultation, they must file a certificate stating the reasons for the failure. The failure to file a certificate can result in a demurrer or motion to strike.
