AB 2942: Criminal procedure: recall of sentencing.

Existing law authorizes a court on its own motion and within 120 days after sentencing, or at any time upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or the Board of Parole Hearings in the case of state prison inmates, or the county correctional administrator in the case of county jail inmates, to recall the sentence of a defendant who has been committed to state prison or county jail and resentence that defendant to a lesser sentence, as specified.

This bill would allow the court to also recall and resentence a defendant upon the recommendation of the district attorney of the county in which the defendant was sentenced.
