This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law, enacted by initiative statute, enumerates specified crimes for which a minor 14 years of age or older may be prosecuted under the general law in a court of criminal jurisdiction, as specified. The initiative statute provides that any amendment of its provisions requires a 23 vote of the membership of each house of the Legislature. Under existing law, when a minor is alleged to have committed any of the enumerated crimes, a probation officer is required to investigate and submit a report for the court to consider in deciding whether to prosecute the minor as an adult. This bill would enact Pamela and Izaiah's Law, which would add both vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and causing great bodily injury while driving intoxicated to those enumerated crimes. By imposing additional responsibilities on probation officers, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
