LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 139, as amended, Galgiani. Controlled substances.

Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to sell, dispense, distribute, furnish, administer, or give, or offer to sell, dispense, distribute, furnish, administer, or give, or possess for sale, any synthetic stimulant compound or any specified synthetic stimulant derivative. Existing law also makes it a misdemeanor to sell, dispense, distribute, furnish, administer, or give, or offer to sell, dispense, distribute, furnish, administer, or give, or possess for sale, any synthetic cannabinoid compound or any synthetic cannabinoid derivative. Existing law, beginning January 1, 2016, makes it an infraction to use or possess those drugs.

This bill wouldbegin insert instead make it an infraction to use or possess those drugs beginning on the effective date of this bill. The bill would alsoend insert expand the definition of a synthetic stimulant compound and a synthetic cannabinoidbegin insert compoundend insert for purposes of existing law.begin delete The bill would provide that a first offense of using or possessing those substances is punishable as an infraction, a 2nd offense is punishable as an infraction or a misdemeanor, and a 3rd or subsequent offense is punishable as a misdemeanor.end delete By expanding the scope of existingbegin delete crimes and by increasing the penalty for existingend delete crimes,begin delete thisend deletebegin insert theend insert bill 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.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Vote: 23. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

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