2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 786 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Kiley |

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 786, as introduced, Kiley.
Violent crimes.
Existing law, as amended by the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act of 1998, approved as Proposition 21 at the March 7, 2000, statewide general election, and by the Sexual Predator Punishment and Control Act: Jessica’s Law, approved as Proposition 83 at the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, classifies certain felonies as violent felonies for purposes of sentencing. Existing law imposes an additional one-year term for a felony and a 3-year term for a violent felony for each prior separate prison term served for a violent felony. Existing law, as added by Proposition 184, approved at the November 8, 1994, statewide general election, and amended by the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012, approved as Proposition 36 at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election, commonly known as the Three Strikes Law, also imposes additional years of imprisonment in state prison on
a person who commits a violent felony and has been convicted of, or who has a prior conviction for, a violent felony. The Legislature may amend the above-specified initiative statutes by a statute passed in each house by a 2/3 vote.
This bill would amend the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012 by making human trafficking to effect or maintain a violation of specified sex crimes a violent felony. Because this bill would increase penalties for a crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
