CA AB2486

Extends the requirement to serve consecutive sentences to persons convicted of felonies committed while imprisoned in county jails under Section 1170(h), previously applicable only to those imprisoned in state prisons

New consecutive sentences for county jail felonies shall commence from the time the person would otherwise have been released from the county jail, matching the existing rule for state prison offenses

Creates two operative versions of Section 1170.1: one effective until January 1, 2014, and another becoming operative on January 1, 2014, with the second version modifying sentencing discretion for three-term enhancements to impose the middle term unless aggravating or mitigating circumstances exist

Declares that no state reimbursement is required under the California Constitution because the bill changes penalties for existing crimes rather than creating new costs for local agencies
