Yes, California has a death penalty statute and has executed thirteen inmates since the US Supreme Court decided capital punishment was (again) constitutional in 1976. Their last scheduled execution was stayed by a federal court in 2006, however, due to concerns that their current lethal injection procedures may cause conscious asphyxiation.
As a result of their de facto moratorium, California currently has 678 inmates on death row. Although the state offers the option of death in the gas chamber, no one has chosen this method.
