§ 8280 Penal Code Revision Committee

• •California has a group called the 'California Law Revision Commission' that looks at and improves state laws.
• •Starting in 2020, there’s a special team inside this group called the 'Committee on Revision of the Penal Code' that focuses on criminal laws.
• •The law defines 'Commission' as the main group and 'Committee' as the team working on criminal laws.

Imagine a group of people whose job is to read through California’s old laws and suggest ways to make them better.

This law creates that group (the Commission) and a smaller team inside it (the Committee) that specifically works on updating criminal laws, like rules about theft or assault.
