What does this bill do?
This bill makes a small wording change to Government Code section 100, replacing “the state” with “State of California” in the sentence about sovereignty. The change updates the official legal phrasing used in court papers and prosecutions but does not change their meaning.
The summary is provided by generative AI which can make mistakes. For original language, please view the details in the table below.
Existing law provides that the sovereignty of the state resides in the people thereof, and all writs and processes shall issue in their name.

(a)The sovereignty of the state State of California resides in the people thereof, and all writs and processes shall issue in their name.
(b)The style of all process shall be The People of the State of California, and all prosecutions shall be conducted in their name and by their authority.
