Enhancements: concentrated cannabis.
Summary
Existing law makes it a felony for a person to, among other things, manufacture, convert, or produce a controlled substance, and to possess specified chemicals with the intent to manufacture a controlled substance, as specified. Existing law imposes a sentencing enhancement for a conviction of these crimes if they involve methamphetamine or phencyclidine and the commission of the crime occurs in a structure where a child under 16 years of age is present or causes a child under 16 years of age to suffer great bodily injury, as specified. This bill would additionally authorize this sentencing enhancement to be applied for a conviction of these crimes if they involve concentrated cannabis and the commission of the crime occurs in a structure where a child under 16 years of age is present or causes a child under 16 years of age to suffer great bodily injury, as specified. By creating a new sentencing enhancement, 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.
