Existing law makes it a felony punishable by imprisonment for 2, 4, or 6 years for any person to donate blood, body organs or other tissue, or, under specified circumstances, semen or breast milk, if the person knows that he or she has acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), or that he or she has tested reactive to HIV. Existing law provides that a person who is afflicted with a contagious, infectious, or communicable disease who willfully exposes himself or herself to another person, or any person who willfully exposes another person afflicted with the disease to someone else, is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would repeal those provisions. The bill would instead make the intentional transmission of an infectious or communicable disease, as defined, a misdemeanor, if certain circumstances apply, including that the defendant knows he or she is afflicted with the disease, that the defendant acts with the specific intent to transmit the disease to another person, that the defendant engages in conduct that poses a substantial risk of transmission, as defined, and that the defendant transmits the disease to the other person. The bill would impose various requirements upon the court in order to prevent the public disclosure of the identifying characteristics, as defined, of the complainant and the defendant.

However, a victim of domestic violence has a privilege to refuse to disclose, and to prevent another from disclosing, a confidential communication between the victim and a domestic violence counselor. Existing law requires the domestic violence counselor who received or made a communication subject to this privilege to claim the privilege whenever he or she is present when the communication is sought to be disclosed. Existing law defines “domestic violence counselor” to mean a specified person who is employed at a domestic violence victim service organization. Existing law defines “domestic violence victim service organization” to mean a nongovernmental organization or entity that provides shelter, programs, or services to victims of domestic violence and their children, as specified.

This bill would require that a youth under 18 years of age consult with legal counsel in person, by telephone, or by video conference prior to a custodial interrogation and before waiving any of the above-specified rights. The bill would provide that consultation with legal counsel cannot be waived. The bill would require the court to consider the effect of the failure to comply with the above-specified requirement in adjudicating the admissibility of statements of a youth under 18 years of age made during or after a custodial interrogation.

This bill would allow, if the action is on a complaint charging a felony involving death, great bodily harm, or a serious threat to the physical well-being of another person, the prosecuting attorney, at any time before or after a defendant is determined incompetent to stand trial, to request a determination of probable cause to believe the defendant committed the offense or offenses alleged in the complaint, solely for the purpose of establishing that the defendant is gravely disabled, and would grant the defendant a new determination of probable cause after restoration of competency. The bill would allow for the initiation of a conservatorship upon a criminal complaint if there has been a finding of probable cause on the complaint.

Vehicles: removal and impoundment.

This bill would also authorize a magistrate to issue a warrant or court order authorizing a peace officer to immediately seize and cause the removal of a vehicle when the magistrate is presented with the affidavit of a peace officer establishing reasonable cause to believe that the vehicle was used in a motor vehicle speed contest, reckless driving on a highway, reckless driving in an offstreet parking facility, or an exhibition of speed on a highway, based on evidence witnessed by, delivered to, or developed by the peace officer within 120 days of the violation. The bill would prohibit the magistrate from issuing a warrant or order authorizing the impound if he or she determines that the vehicle to be impounded is necessary for a person to get to work, school, or medical appointments and impounding the vehicle would cause a hardship on the owner or the owner’s family.

Senator Jackson

Veterans: pretrial diversion: driving privileges.

Existing law makes it unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug to drive a vehicle, or to drive a vehicle and concurrently do any act forbidden by law which causes bodily injury to any person other than the driver. In any case in which a person is charged with a violation of these provisions, existing law prohibits a court from suspending or staying the proceedings prior to acquittal or conviction or from dismissing the proceedings because the accused person attends or participates in a treatment program. This bill would, notwithstanding any other law, including the above-described provision, specify that a misdemeanor offense for which a defendant may be placed in a pretrial diversion program in accordance with the above-described program includes a misdemeanor violation of driving under the influence or driving under the influence and causing bodily injury. The bill would not limit the authority of the Department of Motor Vehicles to take administrative action concerning the driving privileges of a person arrested for a violation of those provisions.

Existing law provides that a person who uses a concealed camcorder, motion picture camera, or photographic camera of any type, to secretly videotape, film, photograph, or record by electronic means, another, identifiable person under or through the clothing being worn by that other person, for the purpose of viewing the body of, or the undergarments worn by, that other person, without the consent or knowledge of that other person, with the intent to arouse, appeal to, or gratify the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person and invade the privacy of that other person, under circumstances in which the other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. This bill would additionally make it a crime to intentionally distribute or disseminate, or to make available or viewable, any image obtained pursuant to the provisions described above, including through publication, posting through electronic media, or by any other means.

SB 911

Senator Gaines

Criminal law.

Under existing law, it is a crime to assault, batter, or interfere with, as specified, a police dog or police horse. Under existing law, a violation of these provisions is punishable as a misdemeanor, or, if a serious physical injury is inflicted upon the animal, as a misdemeanor or felony. Additionally, under existing law, if a person, with the intent to inflict injury or death, causes the death or serious physical injury of the animal, that person is, upon conviction of a felony, punishable by an additional one-year term of imprisonment. This bill would instead make the intentional killing or infliction of serious physical injury to a police dog or police horse a felony.

Murder: special circumstances.

Existing law imposes the penalty on a defendant found guilty of murder in the first degree of death or imprisonment in the state prison for life without the possibility of parole, if one or more enumerated special circumstances are found to be true. Existing law includes in these special circumstances, among other things, that the victim was intentionally killed because of his or her race, color, religion, nationality, or country of origin. This bill would additionally include among those special circumstances that the victim was intentionally killed because of his or her sexual orientation or gender, as defined. By increasing the punishment for a crime, this would create a state-mandated local program.

Senator Gaines

Law enforcement sharing: data.

Existing law authorizes local law enforcement to voluntarily cooperate with immigration officials if that cooperation is permitted by the act, and only for specific circumstances, including, among others, that the subject has been convicted within the last 15 years of specified offenses. This bill would revise those provisions to allow local law enforcement to voluntarily cooperate with immigration officials by detaining an individual on the basis of an immigration hold, as defined, after that individual becomes eligible for release if that detention would not violate federal, state, or local law or local policy, and only for specific circumstances, including, among others, that the subject has been convicted at any time of specified offenses.
This bill would require, that when there is reason to believe a person may not be a citizen of the United States, and that person is arrested for specified drug offenses, including, among others, unauthorized possession or sale of cannabis, and possession of narcotics, the arresting agency to notify the appropriate agency of the United States having charge of deportation matters. By imposing additional duties on local law enforcement, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Senator Hill

Vehicles: marijuana.

Existing law prohibits a person who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or the combined influence of alcohol or drugs from driving a vehicle. Existing law also prohibits a person from driving under the influence and proximately causing bodily harm to another person, as specified. Existing law defines a drug, for purposes of these provisions as any substance, other than alcohol, which can affect the nervous system, brain, or muscles of a person in a manner that impairs the ability to safely drive a vehicle. This bill would recast these provisions to make driving under the influence of several classifications of drugs each a separate offense, with no changes to the penalty.
Under existing law, a person under 21 years of age who has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.01% or more while operating a motor vehicle will have his or her driver’s license suspended by the department for no less than one year. Existing law provides the procedure for the arresting officer, acting on behalf of the Department of Motor Vehicles, to serve a notice of order of suspension, seize the person’s license, and issue a temporary license. This bill would make a person under 21 years of age who has any detectible amount of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in his or her body subject to the same license suspension, except as specified. The bill would make other conforming changes.

This bill would additionally authorize locking the handgun in a toolbox or utility box. The bill would define “toolbox or utility box” as a fully enclosed container that is permanently affixed to the bed of a pickup truck or vehicle that does not contain a trunk, and is locked by a padlock, keylock, combination lock, or other similar locking device.

Applicants for employment: criminal history.

This bill would instead specify that these provisions do not prohibit an employer from asking an applicant about, or seeking from any source information regarding, a particular conviction of the applicant if, pursuant to state or federal law, (1) the employer is required to obtain information regarding the particular conviction of the applicant, regardless of whether the conviction has been expunged, judicially ordered sealed, statutorily eradicated, or judicially dismissed following probation, (2) the applicant would be required to possess or use a firearm in the course of his or her employment, (3) an individual with that particular conviction is prohibited by law from holding the position sought, regardless of whether the conviction has been expunged, judicially ordered sealed, statutorily eradicated, or judicially dismissed following probation, or (4) the employer is prohibited by law from hiring an applicant who has that particular conviction, regardless of whether the conviction has been expunged, judicially ordered sealed, statutorily eradicated, or judicially dismissed following probation. Because the bill would increase the scope of a crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program.

SB 1437

Senators Skinner and Anderson

Accomplice liability for felony murder.

Existing law defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought. Existing law defines malice for this purpose as either express or implied and defines those terms.
This bill would prohibit malice from being imputed to a person based solely on his or her participation in a crime. The bill would prohibit a participant or conspirator in the commission or attempted commission of a felony inherently dangerous to human life to be imputed to have acted with implied malice, unless he or she personally committed the homicidal act.
Existing law defines first degree murder, in part, as all murder that is committed in the perpetration of, or attempt to perpetrate, specified felonies, including arson, rape, carjacking, robbery, burglary, mayhem, and kidnapping. Existing law, as enacted by Proposition 7, approved by the voters at the November 7, 1978, statewide general election, prescribes a penalty for that crime of death, imprisonment in the state prison for life without the possibility of parole, or imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 25 years to life. Existing law defines 2nd degree murder as all murder that is not in the first degree and imposes a penalty of imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 15 years to life.
This bill would prohibit a participant or conspirator in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of one of the specified first degree murder felonies in which a death occurs from being liable for murder, unless the person personally committed the homicidal act, the person acted with premeditated intent to aid and abet an act wherein a death would occur, or the person was a major participant in the underlying felony and acted with reckless indifference to human life.
Existing law, as added by Proposition 8, adopted June 8, 1982, and amended by Proposition 21, adopted March 7, 2000, among other things, defines a serious felony. Existing law, also added by Proposition 8, adopted June 8, 1982, and amended by Proposition 36, adopted November 6, 2012, commonly known as the Three Strikes Law, requires increased penalties for certain recidivist offenders in addition to any other enhancement or penalty provisions that may apply, including individuals with current and prior convictions of a serious felony, as specified.
This bill would include in the list of serious felonies the commission of a felony inherently dangerous to human life wherein a person was killed.
This bill would provide a means of resentencing a defendant when a complaint, information, or indictment was filed against the defendant that allowed the prosecution to proceed under a theory of first degree felony murder, 2nd degree felony murder, or murder under the natural and probable consequences doctrine, the defendant was sentenced for first degree or 2nd degree murder or accepted a plea offer in lieu of a trial at which the defendant could be convicted for first degree or 2nd degree murder, and the defendant could not be charged with murder after the enactment of this bill. The bill would provide that the court cannot, through this resentencing process, remove a strike from the petitioner’s record. By requiring the participation of district attorneys and public defenders in the resentencing process, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) Existing law prohibits, except as specified, a person sentenced to imprisonment in a county jail from being administered any psychiatric medication without his or her prior informed consent.
This bill would delete duplicative language in that provision.
(4) Existing law requires a probation officer, under certain circumstances, to immediately refer a juvenile offender for criminal prosecution.
This bill would delete an obsolete cross reference from this provision and make conforming changes.
