SECTION 1.  

The Legislature finds and declares all of the
2following:

3(a) Intermediate sanctions, including, but not limited to, flash
4incarceration, balance holding offenders accountable for violations
5of their conditions of supervision while focusing on shorter and
6fewer disruptions from work, home, and programming.

7(b) Strategies that combine evidence-based practices, including
8structured decisionmaking matrices, provide tools needed to
9respond to violations with a proportionately matched response
10through graduated sanctions.

11(c) The use of structured sanction and reward policies based on
12evidence-based tools helps to maintain offender engagement in
13programs and assists in the process of positive behavior change.

14(d) The use of incentives can be a powerful tool in shaping client
15behavior and promoting positive behavior change.

16(e) Violations can be reduced when responses to noncompliant
17behavior are swift, certain, and proportional to the client’s behavior.

SEC. 2.  

Section 1170 of the Penal Code, as amended by Section
191 of Chapter 378 of the Statutes of 2015, is amended to read:

20

1170.  

(a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that the
21purpose of imprisonment for crime is punishment. This purpose
22is best served by terms proportionate to the seriousness of the
23offense with provision for uniformity in the sentences of offenders
24committing the same offense under similar circumstances. The
25Legislature further finds and declares that the elimination of
26disparity and the provision of uniformity of sentences can best be
27achieved by determinate sentences fixed by statute in proportion
28to the seriousness of the offense as determined by the Legislature
29to be imposed by the court with specified discretion.

30(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Legislature further finds
31and declares that programs should be available for inmates,
32 including, but not limited to, educational programs, that are
33designed to prepare nonviolent felony offenders for successful
34reentry into the community. The Legislature encourages the
35development of policies and programs designed to educate and
P3    1rehabilitate nonviolent felony offenders. In implementing this
2section, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is
3encouraged to give priority enrollment in programs to promote
4successful return to the community to an inmate with a short
5remaining term of commitment and a release date that would allow
6him or her adequate time to complete the program.

7(3) In any case in which the punishment prescribed by statute
8for a person convicted of a public offense is a term of imprisonment
9in the state prison or a term pursuant to subdivision (h) of any
10specification of three time periods, the court shall sentence the
11defendant to one of the terms of imprisonment specified unless
12the convicted person is given any other disposition provided by
13law, including a fine, jail, probation, or the suspension of
14imposition or execution of sentence or is sentenced pursuant to
15subdivision (b) of Section 1168 because he or she had committed
16his or her crime prior to July 1, 1977. In sentencing the convicted
17person, the court shall apply the sentencing rules of the Judicial
18Council. The court, unless it determines that there are
19circumstances in mitigation of the punishment prescribed, shall
20also impose any other term that it is required by law to impose as
21an additional term. Nothing in this article shall affect any provision
22of law that imposes the death penalty, that authorizes or restricts
23the granting of probation or suspending the execution or imposition
24of sentence, or expressly provides for imprisonment in the state
25prison for life, except as provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision
26(d). In any case in which the amount of preimprisonment credit
27under Section 2900.5 or any other law is equal to or exceeds any
28 sentence imposed pursuant to this chapter, except for the remaining
29portion of mandatory supervision pursuant to subparagraph (B) of
30paragraph (5) of subdivision (h), the entire sentence shall be
31deemed to have been served, except for the remaining period of
32mandatory supervision, and the defendant shall not be actually
33delivered to the custody of the secretary or to the custody of the
34county correctional administrator. The court shall advise the
35defendant that he or she shall serve an applicable period of parole,
36postrelease community supervision, or mandatory supervision,
37and order the defendant to report to the parole or probation office
38closest to the defendant’s last legal residence, unless the in-custody
39credits equal the total sentence, including both confinement time
40and the period of parole, postrelease community supervision, or
P4    1mandatory supervision. The sentence shall be deemed a separate
2prior prison term or a sentence of imprisonment in a county jail
3under subdivision (h) for purposes of Section 667.5, and a copy
4of the judgment and other necessary documentation shall be
5forwarded to the secretary.

6(b) When a judgment of imprisonment is to be imposed and the
7statute specifies three possible terms, the choice of the appropriate
8term shall rest within the sound discretion of the court. At least
9four days prior to the time set for imposition of judgment, either
10party or the victim, or the family of the victim if the victim is
11deceased, may submit a statement in aggravation or mitigation. In
12determining the appropriate term, the court may consider the record
13in the case, the probation officer’s report, other reports, including
14reports received pursuant to Section 1203.03, and statements in
15aggravation or mitigation submitted by the prosecution, the
16defendant, or the victim, or the family of the victim if the victim
17is deceased, and any further evidence introduced at the sentencing
18hearing. The court shall select the term which, in the court’s
19discretion, best serves the interests of justice. The court shall set
20forth on the record the reasons for imposing the term selected and
21the court may not impose an upper term by using the fact of any
22enhancement upon which sentence is imposed under any provision
23of law. A term of imprisonment shall not be specified if imposition
24of sentence is suspended.

25(c) The court shall state the reasons for its sentence choice on
26the record at the time of sentencing. The court shall also inform
27the defendant that as part of the sentence after expiration of the
28term he or she may be on parole for a period as provided in Section
293000 or 3000.08 or postrelease community supervision for a period
30as provided in Section 3451.

31(d) (1) When a defendant subject to this section or subdivision
32(b) of Section 1168 has been sentenced to be imprisoned in the
33state prison or county jail pursuant to subdivision (h) and has been
34committed to the custody of the secretary or the county correctional
35administrator, the court may, within 120 days of the date of
36commitment on its own motion, or at any time upon the
37recommendation of the secretary or the Board of Parole Hearings
38in the case of state prison inmates, or the county correctional
39administrator in the case of county jail inmates, recall the sentence
40and commitment previously ordered and resentence the defendant
P5    1in the same manner as if he or she had not previously been
2sentenced, provided the new sentence, if any, is no greater than
3the initial sentence. The court resentencing under this subdivision
4shall apply the sentencing rules of the Judicial Council so as to
5eliminate disparity of sentences and to promote uniformity of
6sentencing. Credit shall be given for time served.

7(2) (A) (i) When a defendant who was under 18 years of age
8at the time of the commission of the offense for which the
9defendant was sentenced to imprisonment for life without the
10possibility of parole has served at least 15 years of that sentence,
11the defendant may submit to the sentencing court a petition for
12recall and resentencing.

13(ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), this paragraph shall not apply
14to defendants sentenced to life without parole for an offense where
15the defendant tortured, as described in Section 206, his or her
16victim or the victim was a public safety official, including any law
17enforcement personnel mentioned in Chapter 4.5 (commencing
18with Section 830) of Title 3, or any firefighter as described in
19Section 245.1, as well as any other officer in any segment of law
20enforcement who is employed by the federal government, the state,
21or any of its political subdivisions.

22(B) The defendant shall file the original petition with the
23sentencing court. A copy of the petition shall be served on the
24agency that prosecuted the case. The petition shall include the
25defendant’s statement that he or she was under 18 years of age at
26the time of the crime and was sentenced to life in prison without
27the possibility of parole, the defendant’s statement describing his
28or her remorse and work towards rehabilitation, and the defendant’s
29statement that one of the following is true:

30(i) The defendant was convicted pursuant to felony murder or
31aiding and abetting murder provisions of law.

32(ii) The defendant does not have juvenile felony adjudications

35is being considered for recall.

36(iii) The defendant committed the offense with at least one adult
37codefendant.

38(iv) The defendant has performed acts that tend to indicate
39rehabilitation or the potential for rehabilitation, including, but not

P6    1or vocational programs, if those programs have been available at
2his or her classification level and facility, using self-study for
3self-improvement, or showing evidence of remorse.

4(C) If any of the information required in subparagraph (B) is
5missing from the petition, or if proof of service on the prosecuting
6agency is not provided, the court shall return the petition to the
7defendant and advise the defendant that the matter cannot be
8considered without the missing information.

9(D) A reply to the petition, if any, shall be filed with the court
10within 60 days of the date on which the prosecuting agency was
11served with the petition, unless a continuance is granted for good
12cause.

13(E) If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that
14the statements in the petition are true, the court shall hold a hearing
15to consider whether to recall the sentence and commitment
16previously ordered and to resentence the defendant in the same
17manner as if the defendant had not previously been sentenced,
18provided that the new sentence, if any, is not greater than the initial
19sentence. Victims, or victim family members if the victim is
20deceased, shall retain the rights to participate in the hearing.

21(F) The factors that the court may consider when determining
22whether to recall and resentence include, but are not limited to,
23the following:

24(i) The defendant was convicted pursuant to felony murder or
25aiding and abetting murder provisions of law.

26(ii) The defendant does not have juvenile felony adjudications

35trauma, or significant stress.

36(v) The defendant suffers from cognitive limitations due to
37mental illness, developmental disabilities, or other factors that did
38not constitute a defense, but influenced the defendant’s
39involvement in the offense.

P7    1(vi) The defendant has performed acts that tend to indicate
2rehabilitation or the potential for rehabilitation, including, but not
3limited to, availing himself or herself of rehabilitative, educational,
4or vocational programs, if those programs have been available at
5his or her classification level and facility, using self-study for
6self-improvement, or showing evidence of remorse.

17conviction, sentence enhancement, or because he or she is required
18to register as a sex offender shall not be subject to dismissal
19pursuant to Section 1385.

20(g) A sentence to state prison for a determinate term for which
21only one term is specified, is a sentence to state prison under this
22section.

25underlying offense shall be punishable by a term of imprisonment
26in a county jail for 16 months, or two or three years.

27(2) Except as provided in paragraph (3), a felony punishable
28pursuant to this subdivision shall be punishable by imprisonment

33conviction for a violent felony described in subdivision (c) of
34Section 667.5, (B) has a prior felony conviction in another

11court’s discretion. For any defendant whose term is suspended
12pursuant to this paragraph prior to January 1, 2022, if the court
13suspends execution of a concluding portion of the term, the court
14may take a waiver from the defendant permitting flash incarceration

23county probation officer in accordance with the terms, conditions,
24and procedures generally applicable to persons placed on probation,
25for the remaining unserved portion of the sentence imposed by the
26court. The period of supervision shall be mandatory, and may not
27be earlier terminated except by court order. Any proceeding to
28revoke or modify mandatory supervision under this subparagraph
29shall be conducted pursuant to either subdivisions (a) and (b) of
30Section 1203.2 or Section 1203.3. During the period when the
31defendant is under that supervision, unless in actual custody related
32to the sentence imposed by the court, the defendant shall be entitled
33to only actual time credit against the term of imprisonment imposed
34by the court. Any time period which is suspended because a person
35has absconded shall not be credited toward the period of
36supervision.

37(6) The sentencing changes made by the act that added this
38subdivision shall be applied prospectively to any person sentenced

3January 1, 2015, and shall be applied prospectively to any person
4sentenced on or after January 1, 2015.

11

1203.  

(a) As used in this code, “probation” means the
12suspension of the imposition or execution of a sentence and the
13order of conditional and revocable release in the community under
14the supervision of a probation officer. As used in this code,
15“conditional sentence” means the suspension of the imposition or
16execution of a sentence and the order of revocable release in the
17community subject to conditions established by the court without
18the supervision of a probation officer. It is the intent of the
19Legislature that both conditional sentence and probation are
20authorized whenever probation is authorized in any code as a
21sentencing option for infractions or misdemeanors.

22(b) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (j), if a person is
23convicted of a felony and is eligible for probation, before judgment
24is pronounced, the court shall immediately refer the matter to a
25probation officer to investigate and report to the court, at a specified
26time, upon the circumstances surrounding the crime and the prior
27history and record of the person, which may be considered either
28in aggravation or mitigation of the punishment.

29(2) (A) The probation officer shall immediately investigate and
30make a written report to the court of his or her findings and
31recommendations, including his or her recommendations as to the
32granting or denying of probation and the conditions of probation,
33if granted.

34(B) Pursuant to Section 828 of the Welfare and Institutions
35Code, the probation officer shall include in his or her report any
36information gathered by a law enforcement agency relating to the
37taking of the defendant into custody as a minor, which shall be
38considered for purposes of determining whether adjudications of
39commissions of crimes as a juvenile warrant a finding that there
P13   1are circumstances in aggravation pursuant to Section 1170 or to
2deny probation.

3(C) If the person was convicted of an offense that requires him
4or her to register as a sex offender pursuant to Sections 290 to
5290.023, inclusive, or if the probation report recommends that
6registration be ordered at sentencing pursuant to Section 290.006,
7the probation officer’s report shall include the results of the
8State-Authorized Risk Assessment Tool for Sex Offenders
9(SARATSO) administered pursuant to Sections 290.04 to 290.06,
10inclusive, if applicable.

11(D) The probation officer may also include in the report his or
12her recommendation of both of the following:

13(i) The amount the defendant should be required to pay as a
14restitution fine pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1202.4.

15(ii) Whether the court shall require, as a condition of probation,
16restitution to the victim or to the Restitution Fund and the amount
17thereof.

18(E) The report shall be made available to the court and the
