AB 1861

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law provides that it is unlawful for any person to willfully cause or permit any child to suffer, or inflict thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or having the care or custody of any child, willfully cause or permit the person or health of that child to be injured, or willfully cause or permit that child to be placed in a situation where his or her person or health is endangered. This conduct is a misdemeanor or felony if it is done under circumstances or conditions likely to produce great bodily harm or death to the child, and a misdemeanor if these circumstances are not present. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
