Summary

Existing law prohibits a person from using or being under the influence of certain controlled substances, except as specified. A person convicted of violating this prohibition is guilty of a misdemeanor and the court is required to sentence the person to not less than 90 days or more than one year in a county jail. The court is authorized to place a person convicted under this provision on probation for not more than 5 years, and the court is required, as a condition of granting probation, to order the person to serve at least 90 days in a county jail. The court is prohibited, except with regards to specified drug treatment provisions, from absolving a person convicted under this provision from serving at least 90 days in a county jail. This bill would delete the requirement that a person convicted under this provision serve at least 90 days in a county jail, and would delete the requirement that, as a condition of granting probation, the person serve at least 90 days in a county jail. The bill would make additional conforming changes. The bill would also authorize the court to grant probation for not more than 5 years in addition to any jail sentence imposed.
