AB 2052 California Assembly · 2015-2016 Regular Session

Sentencing: animal abuse and cruelty.

Summary

Existing law makes it a crime, punishable as specified, to commit various forms of animal abuse, including, among others, maliciously or intentionally maiming or killing an animal and dogfighting. This bill would require a person sentenced for 2 or more current convictions for specified animal abuse and animal cruelty offenses to be sentenced to consecutive terms of imprisonment. By requiring consecutive terms of imprisonment in a county jail for certain convictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
