LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 605, McPherson. Riots: juvenile facilities.
Existing law defines a riot as any use of force or violence, disturbing the public peace, or any threat to use force or violence, if accompanied by immediate power of execution, by 2 or more persons acting together. For purposes of this definition, disturbing the public peace may occur in any place of confinement.
This bill would specify that disturbing the public peace may occur in any juvenile hall, juvenile camp, juvenile ranch, or juvenile forestry camp.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
