| Description: |
AB 714, Feuer. Composite knuckles. Existing law provides that it is a misdemeanor for any person to
commercially manufacture or cause to be commercially manufactured, or
to knowingly import into the state for commercial sale, keep for
commercial sale, or offer or expose for commercial sale, any hard
plastic knuckles or hard wooden knuckles, as defined. This bill would expand the prohibition described above to include
possession of those items. The bill would also revise the elements of
the offense by replacing the term "plastic knuckles" with "composite
knuckles," as defined. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this 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.
