	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Torres

                        FEBRUARY 6, 2014

   An act to add Section 801.7 to the Penal Code, relating to crimes.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 951, as introduced, Torres. Statute of limitations: conspiracy.

   Existing law requires that prosecutions for specified offenses
begin within a prescribed period of time based on the term of the
sentence for the crime. Under existing law, conspiracy to commit a
crime is punishable as a felony, as prescribed, but in most cases in
the same manner as is provided for punishment of the underlying
felony.
   This bill would require a prosecution for conspiracy to commit a
crime to be commenced within the time required for the commencement
of prosecution for the underlying crime.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 801.7 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   801.7.  Prosecution for conspiracy to commit a crime pursuant to
Section 182 shall be commenced within the time required for the
commencement of prosecution for the underlying crime.
