California AB2529 mandates verification under penalty of perjury for civil claims against public entities by employees or former employees.

California AB2529 amends the Code of Civil Procedure and the Government Code to require employees or former employees filing civil claims against public entities for employment-related issues to verify their claims under penalty of perjury. The bill mandates that if a public agency files a motion to strike a complaint or cross-complaint for lack of verification, the court must grant the motion. Additionally, if a public agency finds substantial evidence of perjury in a claim, it must report this to the district attorney, who may then investigate and take appropriate action.
