Vehicular manslaughter.

Bill Subjects

Vehicular Manslaughter.

Abstract

Existing law defines the crimes of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated as the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought, in the driving of a vehicle, where the driving was in violation of specified laws, if the killing resulted from an unlawful or negligent act, as specified. This bill would expand the crimes of gross vehicular manslaughter and vehicular manslaughter to include the unlawful killing of a fetus, as specified. By expanding the definition of a crime, the 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.
