The following excerpt is from Belasco v. Wells, 183 Cal.Rptr.3d 840, 234 Cal.App.4th 409 (Cal. App. 2015):
When the statutory text is ambiguous, or it otherwise fails to resolve the question of its intended meaning, courts look to the statute's legislative history and the historical circumstances behind its enactment. (Mejia v. Reed (2003) 31 Cal.4th 657, 663 [3 Cal.Rptr.3d 390, 74 P.3d 166].)
