INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Corbett

                        FEBRUARY 15, 2002

   An act to amend Section 466 of the Penal Code, relating to crimes.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2015, as introduced, Corbett.  Crimes: breaking and entering
tools.
   Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for any person to have upon
him or her in his or her possession any specified instrument or tool
with the intent to break or enter into any building, railroad car,
aircraft or vessel, trailer coach, or vehicle, as defined.
   This bill would add to the list of instruments or tools ceramic or
porcelain spark plugs in part or in whole.  Because this bill would
create a new crime, 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:  majority.  Appropriation:  no.  Fiscal committee:  yes.
State-mandated local program:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 466 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   466.  Every person having upon him or her in his or her possession
a picklock, crow, keybit, crowbar, screwdriver, vise grip pliers,
water-pump pliers, slidehammer, slim jim, tension bar, lock pick gun,
tubular lock pick, floor-safe door puller, master key,  ceramic
or porcelain spark plugs in part or in whole,  or other
instrument or tool with intent feloniously to break or enter into any
building, railroad car, aircraft, or vessel, trailer coach, or
vehicle as defined in the Vehicle Code, or who shall knowingly make
or alter, or shall attempt to make or alter, any key or other
instrument named above so that the same will fit or open the lock of
a building, railroad car, aircraft, vessel, trailer coach, or vehicle
as defined in the Vehicle Code, without being requested to do so by
some person having the right to open the same, or who shall make,
alter, or repair any instrument or thing, knowing or having reason to
believe that it is intended to be used in committing a misdemeanor
or felony, is guilty of a misdemeanor.  Any of the structures
mentioned in Section 459 shall be deemed to be a building within the
meaning of this section.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because the
only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district
will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction,
eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime
or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government
Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of
Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
