False or forged instruments.

Summary

The bill updates California’s forgery statute, allowing a court to declare a false or forged document void from the start if the prosecutor shows clear evidence and no interested parties are harmed. It also adds stricter sentencing rules for repeat offenders and large‑scale fraud, and sets out how prosecutors must notify affected parties and record notices of pendency.
