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 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.
