AB 2655, as introduced, Weber. Misdemeanors: maximum sentence.
Existing law defines a crime or public offense as an act committed or omitted in violation of a law forbidding or commanding it. Under existing law, a crime that is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for a period not to exceed a year is a misdemeanor. Existing law provides that every offense punishable by imprisonment in a county jail up to or not exceeding one year is punishable by imprisonment not to exceed 364 days.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
