The bill would amend the Penal Code by adding to the conditions for the offense of interference with child custody.  The bill would also provide a defense to prosecution for the offense of interference with child custody.  The offense of interference with child custody is punishable as a state jail felony. 

A state jail felony is punishable by confinement in a state jail for any term of not more than two years or less than 180 days, or, in addition to confinement, a fine not to exceed $10,000.

No significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies is anticipated from any provisions of this bill that authorize or require a change in the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of felony crimes.
