This chapter contains the Attorney General's guidelines for review
of settlements by persons proceeding "in the public interest" pursuant to Health and
Safety Code section
25249.7(f)(4).
The provisions of this chapter are guidelines, which are not binding on litigants or
the courts, but provide the Attorney General's view as to the legality and
appropriateness of various types of settlement provisions, and the type of evidence
sufficient for the private plaintiff to sustain its burden of supporting the
proposed settlement. The guidelines are not a comprehensive identification of all
factors that should be considered in reviewing settlements, but identify particular
issues that are likely to occur frequently. This should assist the parties in
fashioning settlements to which the Attorney General is unlikely to object, and
assist the courts in determining whether to approve settlements.
