Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 1170 of the Penal Code, relating to sentencing.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to expand the prohibition on individuals sentenced to life without parole from seeking recall and resentencing if they were under 18 at the time of the offense. Specifically, it adds a new restriction preventing individuals convicted of what is defined as a "school shooting" from petitioning for recall and resentencing, in addition to existing prohibitions for offenses involving torture or victims who are public safety officials. A "school shooting" is defined as an incident where a person intentionally discharges a firearm in a school zone, resulting in death or great bodily injury, or with the intent to kill or cause great bodily injury to more than one person, with exceptions for lawful actions by peace officers, accidental discharges, and other legally exempted activities.
