Does Section 654, subdivision (a) of the Criminal Code of California apply to a lesser punishment for an act or omission that is punishable by a different section of the law?

Section 654, subdivision (a), provides in pertinent part: "An act or omission that is punishable in different ways by different provisions of law shall be punished under the provision that provides for the longest potential term of imprisonment, but in no case shall the act or omission be punished under more than one provision." Courts impose and stay execution of the lesser punishment deriving from the same act or omission. (People v. Duff (2010) 50 Cal.4th 787, 796.)
