California Corporations Code Statutory History
California Corporations Code Statutory History
Corporations Code: In 1975, California enacted its Corporations Code. This effort drew ideas from former California Codes, such as the Civil Code, as well as separate uncodified acts dating back to 1850 and relating to various aspects of a corporation, its principals and shareholders, rights, liabilities and duties. The 1975 Corporations Code also borrowed from numerous other states’ statutes, thus creating new California laws. Because this codification generated substantive changes to California’s law, it needs to be seriously considered as possibly relevant when reviewing the legislative history of any current Corporations Code statute.
