AB 1772, as introduced, Smith. Robbery.

Existing law defines the crime of robbery as the felonious taking of another’s personal property from the individual’s person or immediate presence, against the individual’s will, by means of force or fear. Existing law establishes that a robbery of a person who is performing their duties as an operator of a vehicle, as specified, and used for the transportation of persons for hire, a robbery of a passenger that is perpetrated on a vehicle for hire, a robbery that is perpetrated in an inhabited dwelling, as defined, such as a vessel, trailer coach, or inhabited floating home, and a robbery of a person using or immediately after using and in the vicinity of an automated teller machine, is robbery of the first degree.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
