Felonies: crimes committed while on mandatory supervision.

Existing law generally requires that felonies punishable by imprisonment in a county jail be punished either by the term described in the underlying offense or by a term of 16 months, or 2 or 3 years if the term is not specified. Existing law requires an executed sentence for these felonies to be punished in state prison if the defendant has a prior or current felony conviction for a serious or violent felony, is required to register as a sex offender, or is convicted of a crime for which the white collar crime enhancement is imposed as part of the sentence. Existing law authorizes a court, when sentencing a person to county jail for a felony, to commit the person to county jail for either the full term in custody, as specified, or to suspend the execution of a concluding portion of the term selected at the court's discretion. Under existing law, this period of suspended execution is supervised by the county probation officer and is known as mandatory supervision. This bill would require an executed sentence for a felony to be punished in state prison if the defendant committed the felony while he or she was under mandatory supervision.
