Prisons: prosecution of nonfelony offenses.
Summary
Existing law prevents a person committed to the custody of the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a juvenile facility, or a county jail for a felony conviction 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 for a felony conviction from being prosecuted for a nonfelony offense pending against them at the time of their commitment, except as specified.
