Under existing law, a misdemeanor is a crime punishable by less than one year in the county jail.This bill would require a court, at the time of sentencing and if a court is imposing a prison sentence, to determine the defendants anticipated prison stay, as defined, and, if that anticipated stay is for 365 days or fewer, to order that the defendant serve the sentence in the custody of the sheriff or county jail administrator, unless that order is prohibited by an initiative statute. The bill would require specified reports by probation departments to include an estimate of the defendants anticipated prison stay. By imposing additional duties on county jails and probation departments, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.Existing law prevents a person committed to the custody of the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from being subject to prosecution for a nonfelony offense arising out of, among other things, the operation of a motor vehicle, that is pending against them at the time of commitment.This bill would prohibit a person committed to the department, to a county facility as a ward of the juvenile court, or to a county jail from being prosecuted for a nonfelony offense pending against them at the time of their commitment, except as specified.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
