Summary

The bill revises California’s firearm‑enhancement penalties, requiring prosecutors to prove when a peace officer’s gun use is not part of their job before extra prison time can be added. It also expands the definition of a directly communicated threat to include electronic messages and eliminates any state reimbursement for costs tied to the changes. These updates affect prosecutors, courts, peace officers and anyone charged with threatening public officials.
