California Civil Code 3269 – For purposes of this title, the following definitions …
For purposes of this title, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Year 2000 Problem” means any expected or actual computing, physical, enterprise, or distribution system complications that may occur in any computer system, computer program, software application, embedded systems, embedded chip calculations, or other computing application as a result of the year change from 1999 to 2000. These complications are often associated with the common programming practice of using a two-digit field to represent a year, resulting in erroneous date calculations, an ambiguous interpretation of the term “00,” the failure to recognize the year 2000 as a leap year, the use of algorithms that use the year “99” or “00” as a flag for another function, or the use of applications, software, or hardware that are date sensitive.
