AB 2147: Criminal procedure: jurisdiction of public offenses.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 24, 2026

What AB 2147 does, verified August 24, 2026

The bill aims to amend the jurisdiction of public offenses in California. It would allow jurisdictions to decide on cases where multiple violations of certain offenses, including sexual battery, indecent exposure, and annoying or molesting a child, occur in different locations. This decision would be made without considering whether the defendant and victim are the same for all offenses. The bill would apply this jurisdictional provision to any offense that meets these conditions, ensuring consistency in how these cases are handled across the state.
