AB 991: Sentencing: dismissal of enhancements.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified February 3, 2026

What AB 991 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to modify the law regarding sentencing by allowing courts to dismiss certain enhancements in the furtherance of justice. However, it does not apply this provision to firearms-related enhancements. Instead, courts can dismiss these firearm-related enhancements based on their general authority to dismiss an action. This change would exempt firearms-related enhancements from the existing law that prohibits dismissal of enhancements.
