description: "Existing law provides that most felonies are punishable by a triad of terms of incarceration in the state prison, comprised of low, middle, and upper terms. Previous law that required the court to impose the middle term, unless there were circumstances in aggravation or mitigation of the crime, was amended to provide that the choice of the appropriate term rests within the sound discretion of the court. Existing provisions related to sentence enhancements involving criminal street gang activity, firearms, and sentencing generally, operative until January 1, 2014, specify that the appropriate term rests within the sound discretion of the court. Existing law, operative on and after January 1, 2014, instead requires the court to impose the middle term, unless there are circumstances in mitigation or aggravation of the crime."

# California SB 463 (20132014) — Sentencing.
|
||
|
||
Existing law provides that most felonies are punishable by a triad of terms of incarceration in the state prison, comprised of low, middle, and upper terms. Previous law that required the court to impose the middle term, unless there were circumstances in aggravation or mitigation of the crime, was amended to provide that the choice of the appropriate term rests within the sound discretion of the court. Existing provisions related to sentence enhancements involving criminal street gang activity, firearms, and sentencing generally, operative until January 1, 2014, specify that the appropriate term rests within the sound discretion of the court. Existing law, operative on and after January 1, 2014, instead requires the court to impose the middle term, unless there are circumstances in mitigation or aggravation of the crime.
