From committee: Without further action pursuant to Joint Rule 62(a).
Summary
AB 1701 would amend California’s Penal Code to prevent anyone who was under 18 at the time of a school shooting and sentenced to life without parole from filing a petition to have that sentence recalled or reduced. The change adds a new exception to the existing juvenile‑sentence‑recall law, while the rest of the bill restates sentencing goals and court discretion. It matters because it limits a pathway to reduced punishment for the most serious school‑shooting cases.
