          Amends the Code of Civil Procedure.   Excludes  from  the
      provision   prohibiting  property  held  in  tenancy  by  the

      property  transferred  into  tenancy  by  the  entirety  with
      "actual  intent  to  hinder,  delay, or defraud a creditor in
      violation of the Uniform  Fraudulent  Transfer  Act"  (rather
