Several new laws will go into effect in 2018. For the last several years California legislature has been changing its sentencing structure. In 2018 enhancements for certain types of crimes will potentially change. Enhancements occur when there are special circumstances during the commission of a crime or as the result of an individual’s criminal history. In California, Senate Bill 620 will become effective on January 1st, 2018. This gives Judges the authority to strike or di...smiss firearm enhancements in sentencing or re-sentencing of a felony. A firearm enhancement occurs when a weapon was used during the commission of a crime and currently can add 3, 4, or 10 years of prison time to a sentence. These enhancements are increased for the use of an assault weapon. Senate Bill 180 will become active on January 1st, 2018 and effects sentencing for drug trafficking, including possession for sale and purchase for sale. Currently, there is a sentence enhancement if an individual has been previously convicted of this type of crime. SB180 eliminates this enhancement unless the prior conviction includes a violation of health and safety code 11380, regarding the use of a minor in trafficking and conspiracy. The current enhancement adds three years of prison time for each prior conviction. As the new year approaches keep an eye out for changes to the law, and remember that you can contact your local house and senate representatives to voice your opinion about California legislature. Contact Attorney Group of SoCal for a free consultation regarding your case.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Law Office of Decker and Buchanan!

Know your government representatives! Each year local representatives write legislature that may one day become law. Do you know who your local reps are and what they stand for? Here is a link to the Riverside County Senate and Assembly Representatives Roster.
