§ 2300 Corporations Code Effective Dates

This law tells you what the words “new law,” “prior law,” and “effective date” mean for this part of the Corporations Code.

Key Takeaways

•“New law” means the rules in this division of the Corporations Code that were in effect on Jan 1 1977 and later.
•“Prior law” means the rules that were in effect before Jan 1 1977.
•The “effective date” for these definitions is Jan 1 1977.

Example

A company signed a contract in 1976 and then wants to change it in 1978.

Because the law says the “effective date” is Jan 1 1977, the rules that were in place before that day are called “prior law,” and any rules after that day are “new law.” So the 1976 contract follows the prior law, while the 1978 change follows the new law.

As used in this chapter, the term “new law” means this division of the Corporations Code as amended by act of the California Legislature, 1975–76 Regular Session, effective January 1, 1977, and as in effect on that date; the term “prior law” means the applicable law as in effect prior to January 1, 1977; and the term “effective date” means January 1, 1977. (Added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 682.)
