	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Donnelly

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to amend Section 114 of the Penal Code, relating to false
documents.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1274, as introduced, Donnelly. False documents.
   Existing law, added by Proposition 187, adopted by the voters
November 8, 1994, provides that any person who uses false documents
to conceal his or her true citizenship or resident alien status is
guilty of a felony, and shall be punished by imprisonment in the
state prison for 5 years or by a fine of $25,000. Proposition 87
authorizes the Legislature to substantively amend the proposition
absent voter approval by a statute that furthers the purposes of the
proposition and is passed with a 2/3 vote of each house of the
Legislature.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   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 114 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   114.   Any   Every  person who uses
false documents to conceal his or her true citizenship or resident
alien status is guilty of a felony, and shall be punished by
imprisonment in the state prison for five years or by a fine of
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).
