Probation.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the court to grant probation to certain persons convicted of a crime. Under existing law, if a person is convicted of a felony and is eligible for probation, before judgment is pronounced, the court is required to refer the matter to a probation officer to investigate and report to the court 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. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
