What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law provides a number of penalty enhancement provisions that allow a judge to increase a penalty for a crime that is committed under certain circumstances. This bill allows a judge to increase the maximum period of imprisonment by up to five years if a person who is licensed or certified to provide day care commits a sexual assault against, or intentionally or recklessly causes bodily harm to, a child for whom the person provides day care.
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.
