Less lethal weapons.

Existing law generally regulates dangerous weapons, including stun guns and tasers, and establishes offenses committed with stun guns and tasers. This bill would replace the term "taser" with "less lethal weapon" for these purposes. By expanding the scope of existing crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 626.10 of the Penal Code, proposed by AB 870, contingent on the prior enactment of that bill. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
