AB 2529 – Requires a Truth-and-Correctness Declaration in Claims Against Public Entities

The Government Claims Act establishes the procedure for presenting claims and actions against public entities and public employees and generally requires a claim to be signed by the claimant or someone acting on the claimant’s behalf.

AB 2529 adds a substantive declaration requirement to the claim presentation process. In addition to requiring a signature, a claim against a public entity or public employee must include a declaration that, upon information and belief, the contents of the claim are true and correct.

AB 2529 amends Section 910.2 of the Government Code.
