Requires that the plaintiff in those actions serve a specified notice on each defendant in the action and submit a copy of the complaint to the State Bar of California (not the AG). Does not reform the state's Unfair Competition Law as companies will continue to be sued even when no individual is involved or harmed. There would be no finality to these cases. This bill is double-joined to AB 95.
