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 the crime of having sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 12 is guilty of a Class B felony, is subject to a term of imprisonment (which generally includes a term of confinement in prison followed by a term of extended supervision) of up to 60 years, and must be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of confinement in prison of at least 25 years. Also under current law, a person who is convicted of the crime of having sexual intercourse or sexual contact with a person under the age of 13 that results in great bodily harm is guilty of a Class A felony, which has a penalty of life imprisonment, and must be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of confinement in prison of at least 25 years. This bill changes the classification of the first crime to a Class A felony and changes the sentence for both sexual assaults to lifetime confinement in prison without the possibility of extended supervision.
Under current law, a person who is convicted of the crime of intentional homicide is guilty of a Class A felony, which has a penalty of life imprisonment.

Under this bill, if the victim was under the age of 18 years old, the sentence is lifetime confinement in prison without the possibility of extended supervision.
Also, under current law, a person over the age of 18 who is convicted of the crime of possessing child pornography must serve a mandatory minimum term of confinement in prison of at least three years. This bill increases the mandatory minimum term of confinement to 12 years.
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.
