An act to amend Section 236.4 of the Penal Code, relating to crimes.
AI Summary
This bill makes a minor, technical change to existing California law regarding human trafficking, specifically to Section 236.4 of the Penal Code. Currently, this section outlines penalties for human trafficking, which involves depriving someone of their personal liberty to force them into labor, prostitution, or sexual exploitation. It also allows courts to impose an additional fine of up to $1,000,000 on convicted individuals. This bill simply changes the wording from "of" to "for" when referring to a conviction for a violation of Section 236.1, which is the primary human trafficking offense. This change is described as nonsubstantive, meaning it does not alter the meaning or impact of the law, but rather refines the grammatical phrasing.
