Defendant Amador Socorro Huerta pled no contest to charges in two criminal cases related to separate incidents of domestic violence and child endangerment. On appeal, defendant contends that (1) his term of imprisonment for contempt of a court order must be reduced from five years to the statutory maximum of three years; (2) various fines and fees must be stricken because they were not ordered by the court in its oral pronouncement of sentence; (3) his sentence must be vacated and the matter remanded in light of Assembly Bill No. 124’s (2021–2022 Reg. Sess.) (Assembly Bill 124) amendments to Penal Code1 section 1170, subdivision (b)(6); and (4) his sentence must be vacated and the matter remanded in light of Senate Bill No. 567’s (2021–2022 Reg. Sess.) (Senate Bill 567) amendments to section 1170, subdivision (b)(1) through (b)(3). The People agree that the amendments to section 1170, subdivision (b)(6), apply retroactively to defendant and require defendant’s sentence to be vacated, and the matter to be remanded for resentencing. We vacate defendant’s sentence and remand for resentencing. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
