  • Imposes an additional three-year consecutive prison term for each prior separate prison term served for a violent felony conviction, making this applicable to human trafficking convictions.

  • Updates grammatical language throughout Section 667.5, changing "where" to "if" and making other minor statutory corrections.

  • Includes legislative findings that the specified crimes merit special consideration when imposing sentences to display society's condemnation for extraordinary crimes of violence against the person.
