Existing law imposes an additional and consecutive 3- or 5-year term in the state prison on a person who personally inflicts great bodily injury on a person in the commission of a felony, as specified.
This bill would define great bodily injury for purposes of these provisions to include a person who sells, furnishes, administers, or gives away a controlled substance whenever the person sold, furnished, administered, or given the controlled substance suffers from great bodily injury from using the controlled substance. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, 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.
