Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the State of California should enact legislation requiring that all criminals convicted in California State courts of serious violent crimes be imprisoned under the State's indeterminate sentencing system, which links a convicted criminal's release date to the severity of the offense and the prospects for a crime-free life after release.
