The committee also backed a bill to remove residency change penalties for misdemeanors.

Auto first degree murder bill aims at slain officers
California Senate panel approved a bill making the slaying of an on duty police officer automatic first degree murder while defeating a move to curb the governor’s commutation powers. The Judiciary Committee sent the measure to the full Senate on a 9-2 vote, with opponents warning of overreach and concerns about due process.
