If the last day to perform an act provided or required by law is a holiday, the period extends to and includes the next day that is not a holiday. For this purpose 'holiday' means all day on Saturdays, the holidays specified in section 135 and, to the extent section 12b provides, the days that section requires to be treated as holidays. The rule applies to every provision of law that requires an act on a particular day or within a specified period.

Reviewer note: Held dark at the California go-live (owner ruling 2026-10-13, gate item A.13): this card rests on a section page read on 2026-09-28 from leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, whose robots.txt disallows every agent ("User-agent: * / Disallow: /", read 2026-10-03; a Cloudflare challenge page on 2026-10-14). It is re-published only after its text is re-verified, verbatim, from a channel robots.txt permits. Re-sourced 2026-10-22 (California parity Phase 4; the owner's ruling of 2026-10-13 on gate item A.13: re-publish once re-verified, verbatim, from a channel robots.txt permits): every paragraph of this card's text appears verbatim in Code Civ.
