Bill > SB916

This bill creates a new crime called "unlawful entry of a vehicle." It makes it a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail or 16 months, 2 or 3 years in county jail to forcibly enter a vehicle with the intent to commit theft inside. The bill clarifies that this new crime does not restrict the application of any other existing laws, but an act punishable under multiple laws cannot be punished under more than one provision. Additionally, the bill states that no reimbursement to local agencies is required because this new crime falls under the exceptions to the state's mandate to reimburse local costs.
