AI Summary
This bill, AB 1958, proposes to amend Section 19 of the Penal Code in California, which outlines the punishment for misdemeanors when no specific penalty is otherwise stated. Currently, such offenses are punishable by up to six months in county jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. This bill would reduce the maximum fine for these unspecified misdemeanors from $1,000 to $500, while keeping the maximum jail time at six months and the possibility of both a fine and imprisonment.
