Under existing law, carjacking is the felonious taking of a motor vehicle in the possession of another from their person or immediate presence, or from the person or immediate presence of a passenger, against their will, and with intent either to permanently or temporarily deprive the person in possession of their possession, accomplished by means of force or fear. Carjacking is punishable by imprisonment in state prison for 3, 5, or 9 years.

This bill would increase the punishment to 4, 6, or 10 years.
