Existing law requires a civil action to be commenced within a specified period of time after the cause of action on which the action is based accrues. Under existing law, that period of time varies based on the cause of action. Existing law provides that when a person is under a disability to commence a civil action due to the existence of a state of war, the time during which that disability continues is not part of the time period limited for the commencement of the action.
This bill would provide that a proclaimed state of emergency, as defined, constitutes a disability for purposes of the provisions described above.
