BILL NUMBER: SB 587	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Emmerson

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 1170.3 of the Penal Code, relating to
sentencing.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 587, as introduced, Emmerson. Sentencing.
   Existing law requires the Judicial Council to seek to promote
uniformity in sentencing by adopting rules providing criteria for the
consideration of the trial judge at the time of sentencing, as
specified, and by adopting rules standardizing the minimum content
and the sequential presentation of material in probation officer
reports submitted to the court.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
