Probation.

Existing law requires the court, if a person is convicted of a felony and is eligible for probation, as defined, to immediately refer the matter to a probation officer to investigate and report to the court upon the circumstances surrounding the crime and the prior history and record of the person, which may be considered either in aggravation or mitigation of the punishment. Existing law requires the probation officer, among other things, to immediately investigate and make a written report to the court of their findings and recommendations, including their recommendation as to the granting or denying of probation and the conditions of probation, if granted. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
