What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person who is convicted of causing great bodily harm to a child is guilty of a felony and is subject to a fine of not more than $25,000 or up to ten years imprisonment or both. This bill changes the penalty to a fine of not more than $50,000 or up to 15 years imprisonment 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.
