California CodesCode of Civil Procedure - CCPPreliminary ProvisionsSection 31

The Penal Code defines and provides for the prosecution of a criminal action.

Notes

Establishes that the Penal Code, rather than this provision, defines a criminal action and provides for its prosecution. The provision therefore makes only that cross-reference and does not itself define criminal actions, prescribe criminal procedure, set a deadline or monetary threshold, identify prosecuting parties, or state an express exception.
