Crimes: vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
- Extends probation periods for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated from 1-2 years to 3-5 years.
- Maintains existing prison sentences of 4-10 years for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
- Requires longer supervision of offenders without creating additional costs for local agencies.
Assembly Member Patterson's legislation modifies California's probation requirements for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated convictions, extending the supervision period to between three and five years. Current law limits probation to one year for misdemeanor convictions and two years for felony convictions of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
The measure retains existing penalties for the underlying offenses - up to one year in county jail or 16 months to four years in state prison for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, and four to ten years in state prison for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. The bill maintains current provisions regarding murder charges in cases showing wanton disregard for life or implied malice. While the legislation creates a state-mandated local program through increased probation periods, it specifies that no state reimbursement to local agencies is required under the California Constitution.
