What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires courts to consider specific factors when sentencing people

convicted of certain crimes. For instance, if a person is convicted of first or second

degree sexual assault of a child and the person was the child's parent, guardian, or

temporary caregiver or another person legally responsible for the child's welfare, the

sentencing court must consider as an aggravating factor that the convicted person

was responsible for the welfare of the child. Under this bill, if a person is convicted

of a crime involving an act of domestic abuse and the crime was committed in the

presence of a child, the sentencing court must consider as an aggravating factor that

the convicted person committed the crime in the presence of a child.
