Civil proceedings: real party in interest.
Summary
Existing law requires an action to be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest, except as otherwise provided by statute. This bill would require an assignee to identify the assignor who is the original real party in interest in the title of the case on the first document the assignee files in a proceeding.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The diff reflects a transition from the formal enrolled bill document (with Senate and Assembly passage stamps and Governor's approval line) to a web page rendering of the same bill text. The actual legislative content - adding Section 369.6 to the Code of Civil Procedure - is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The document changed from a formal enrolled bill format (with Secretary of Senate, Chief Clerk of Assembly, and Governor's approval stamps) to a web page layout with navigation menus, search tools, and metadata fields. The underlying statutory text of Section 369.6 is unchanged.
