Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 841, Statutes of 2026.
Summary
The bill changes California law so that anyone who enters a diversion program must still be ordered to pay restitution to victims, with a hearing right to dispute the amount. It also creates a structured restitution fine that varies by offense type, imprisonment length, and number of counts, and it prevents a defendant’s inability to pay from blocking diversion. The measure aims to ensure victims are compensated while keeping diversion options available.
