BILL TEXT
AMENDED IN SENATE MARCH 28, 2014
INTRODUCED BY Senator Walters
( Coauthor: Senator Wolk
)
FEBRUARY 19, 2014
An act to amend Sections 1170.125 and 1192.7 of the Penal Code,
relating to human trafficking.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1084, as amended, Walters. Human trafficking.
Existing law, as added by Proposition 8, adopted June 8, 1982, and
amended by Proposition 21, adopted March 7, 2000, among other
things, defines a serious felony. Existing law, also added by
Proposition 8, adopted June 8, 1982, and amended by Proposition 36,
adopted November 6, 2012, commonly known as the Three Strikes law,
requires increased penalties for certain recidivist offenders in
addition to any other enhancement or penalty provisions that may
apply, including individuals with current and prior convictions of a
serious felony, as specified. The Three Strikes law specifies that
references to code sections contained in its provisions, including
references to the definition of a serious felony, are to those
statutes as they existed on November 7, 2012. The Legislature may
directly amend Proposition 8 and Proposition 21 by a statute passed
in each house by a 2/3 vote, or by a statute that becomes effective
only when approved by the voters. The Legislature may directly amend
Proposition 36 by a statute passed in each house by a 2/3 vote and
the Governor concurring, or with a majority vote to be placed on the
next general ballot, or by a statute that becomes effective when
approved by a majority of the electors.
This bill would add human trafficking to the definition of a
serious felony, as specified. The bill would specify that references
to code sections contained in the Three Strikes law are to those
statutes as they exist January 1, 2015. Because the bill would impose
additional duties on local prosecutors, and because it would expand
the punishments for existing 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.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
