LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 950, as introduced, Skinner. Criminal procedure: judgment and sentencing.

Existing law requires, if an individual is sentenced to imprisonment in the state prison, the judgment to direct that the defendant be delivered into the custody of the Director of Corrections at the state prison or institution designated by the director as the place for the reception of persons convicted of felonies, except as specified.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
