The Alycia "LaLa" Reynaga Act.
Summary
Existing law imposes various sentence enhancements, consisting of additional and consecutive terms of imprisonment, including, among others, enhancements for being armed with a firearm during the commission of a felony, being armed with a firearm during the commission of a street gang crime, as defined, being armed with ammunition designed to penetrate armor during the commission of a felony, furnishing a firearm to another for the purpose of aiding, abetting, or enabling that person to commit a felony, using a firearm during the commission of a felony, and the infliction of great bodily injury on any person other than an accomplice during the commission of a felony. Existing law requires that a court dismiss an enhancement if it is in the furtherance of justice to do so, as specified. This bill, the Alycia "LaLa" Reynaga Act, would impose a sentence enhancement in the state prison of 2, 3, or 4 years for committing or attempting to commit specific offenses at or adjacent to a public or private school, church, temple, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship or at an activity sponsored by a public or private school, church, temple, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship, as specified. The bill would also, notwithstanding the limitation on imposing a sentence enhancement if application of the enhancement would result in a sentence of more than 20 years, impose a sentence enhancement in the state prison of 10 years for committing or attempting to commit murder at or adjacent to a public or private school, church, temple, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship or at an activity sponsored by a public or private school, church, temple, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship, as specified. Because this bill would impose additional duties on local prosecutors by creating new enhancements with additional elements, it 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.
