What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who exposes, or causes a child to expose, his or her

genitals or pubic area for sexual arousal or gratification is guilty of a misdemeanor

and is subject to a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than

nine months, or both. This bill changes the classification of the crime from a

misdemeanor to a felony if the person is at least 17 years old when the violation

occurs and subjects such person to a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment

for not more than three years and six months, or both.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
