Existing law makes it a crime for a person who knows or reasonably should know that a person is an elder or dependant adult, under circumstances likely to produce great bodily harm or death, to willfully cause or permit any elder or dependent adult to suffer, or inflict unjustifiably physical pain or mental suffering thereon, or to cause or permit the elder or dependent adult to be placed in a situation in which his or her person or health is endangered, as specified. Existing law punishes a violation of this provision by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by a fine not to exceed $6,000, or by both that fine and imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years. This bill would increase the fine for a 2nd or subsequent violation of that provision to an amount not to exceed $10,000.

Existing law punishes a 2nd or subsequent violation of that provision by a fine not to exceed $2,000 or by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment. This bill would increase the fine for a 2nd or subsequent violation of that provision to an amount not to exceed $5,000.
