What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
