CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill | No. 971 |
Introduced by Senator Nguyen |
January 31, 2018 |
An act to amend Section 853.85 of the Penal Code, relating to crimes.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 971, as introduced, Nguyen.
Criminal procedure: misdemeanors.
Existing law governs criminal proceedings when a person is arrested for an offense declared to be an infraction or a misdemeanor, including the circumstances under which the person may be brought before a magistrate or the juvenile court, or released upon his or her written promise to appear, as specified. Existing law states that these provisions do not apply when a person is arrested for an offense declared to be a felony.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
