Arson.
Summary
Under existing law, a person is guilty of arson if that person willfully and maliciously sets fire to, burns, or causes to be burned, or aids, counsels, or procures the burning of, a structure, forest land, or property. Existing law makes arson a felony and sets various terms of punishment in the state prison depending on the different types of structures, land, or property to which the arson applies. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
