WebSimply put, a PC 17 (b) motion is a petition asking the court to reduce a felony crime to a misdemeanor. However, it's only possible if the felony is a wobbler that could have been filed initially as either a misdemeanor or a felony. A 17 (b) motion could be filed after the preliminary hearing, at sentencing, or when felony probation is completed.
