LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 104, Quackenbush. Controlled substances. Existing law, the Juvenile Drug Trafficking and Schoolyard Act of 1988, provides that any person 18 years of age or over who is convicted of specified controlled substance offenses with regard to cocaine and heroin or of a conspiracy to commit one of those offenses, where the violation takes place upon the grounds of, or within 1,000 feet of, a public or private elementary, vocational, junior high, or high school during hours that the school is open for classes or school-related programs, or at any time when minors are using the facility where the offense occurs, shall receive an additional punishment of 3, 4, or 5 years. This bill would modify this provision to apply instead to a conviction of specified offenses involving cocaine base, heroin, and methamphetamine where the offenses take place under these circumstances. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 11353.6 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read: 11353.6.

(c) Any person 18 years of age or older who is convicted of a violation pursuant to subdivision (b) which involves a minor who is at least four years younger than that person, as a full and separately served enhancement to that provided in subdivision (b), shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 3, 4, or 5 years at the court's discretion. (d) The additional terms provided in this section shall not be imposed unless the allegation is charged in the accusatory pleading and admitted or found to be true by the trier of fact. (e) The additional terms provided in this section shall be in addition to any other punishment provided by law and shall not be limited by any other provision of law. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court may strike the additional punishment for the enhancements provided in this section if it determines that there are circumstances in mitigation of the additional punishment and states on the record its reasons for striking the additional punishment. (g) "Within 1,000 feet of a public or private elementary, vocational, junior high, or high school" means any public area or business establishment where minors are legally permitted to conduct business which is located within 1,000 feet of any public or private elementary, vocational, junior high, or high school.
