CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2009–2010 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 1195

Introduced  by  Senator Wyland

February 18, 2010

An act to amend Section 288 Sections 208, 220, 264, 264.1, 269, 286, 288, 288a, 288.5, and 289 of the Penal Code, relating to sex offenders.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1195, as amended, Wyland. Sex offenders: lewd and lascivious acts. punishment.
Existing law provides punishments for sex crimes.
This bill would change the punishment for various sex crimes from a determinate sentence to an indeterminate sentence with a life term, as specified. The bill would require the court to impose any applicable enhancements consecutive to the life term for these crimes. Because this bill would change the penalty for certain sex crimes, 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.

Existing law makes it a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 3, 6, or 8 years for any person to willfully and lewdly commit any lewd or lascivious act upon or with the body, or any part or member thereof, of a child who is under the age of 14 years, with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person or the child by use of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the victim or another person.

This bill would instead make the crime above punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 10 years to life.

Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NOYES  

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