LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 382, as amended, Lara. Crimes: uncertified highway
carriers of persons. Juveniles: jurisdiction:
sentencing.
Existing law provides that certain minors who have committed
specified crimes may be prosecuted under the general law in a court
of criminal jurisdiction if the juvenile court concludes, after the
evaluation of 5 criteria, that the minor is not a fit and proper
subject to be dealt with under the juvenile court law.
This bill would enumerate, within each of those 5 criteria,
certain factors that may be considered.
Existing law generally provides that when a person is prosecuted
for a criminal offense committed while he or she was under 18 years
of age, he or she is subject to the same sentence as an adult
convicted of the identical offense, except under certain
circumstances, including, among others, when the conviction was for a
type of offense that, in combination with the person's age at the
time the offense was committed, would have made the person eligible
for transfer to a court of criminal jurisdiction pursuant to a
rebuttable presumption that the person is not a fit and proper
subject to be dealt with under the juvenile court law, and the person
prevails on a motion requesting that he or she receive a disposition
under the juvenile court law. Existing law requires, in order to
prevail on that motion, the person to demonstrate, by a preponderance
of the evidence, that he or she is a fit and proper subject to be
dealt with under the juvenile court law, based upon 5 specified
criteria.
This bill would enumerate, within each of the 5 criteria, certain
factors that may be considered.
Existing law makes it a crime for a person, individually or in
specified capacities, to sell, offer for sale, or to advertise
himself or herself as one who sells or offers for sale,
transportation on an individual fare basis on public highways, unless
the transportation is provided by a carrier that is properly
certified or permitted, as specified.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
