What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, if a person commits a violent crime, as defined in current law, on or within 1,000 feet of school premises, on a school bus, or at a school bus stop, the maximum term of imprisonment for that crime increases either by five years, if the violent crime is a felony, or by three months, if the violent crime is a misdemeanor.

Under this bill, if a person commits battery, mayhem, sexual assault, sexual assault of a child, or reckless injury on school premises, the maximum term of imprisonment is increased by six years for the first offense, ten years for the second offense, and 15 years for the third or subsequent offense if the person is not a student at the school and if the crime is committed during school hours or within one hour of school starting or ending.

Read the full summary

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.
