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 crime while possessing, using, or threatening to use a dangerous weapon, the maximum term of imprisonment prescribed by law for that crime is increased by up to six months if the crime is a misdemeanor, by up to four years if the crime is a felony with a maximum term of imprisonment between two and five years, by up to five years if the crime is a felony with a maximum term of imprisonment of more than five years or a life term, and by up to three years for a felony not specified above. Under this bill, a person is subject to a penalty enhancer if the person, while armed with a handgun and on the premises of a gas station, commits intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, felony murder, certain batteries, taking hostages, kidnapping, certain crimes of damage to property, burglary, carjacking, or robbery if the property taken is at least $100. If the person commits one of those crimes and the crime is a felony, the maximum term of imprisonment is increased by five years, and if the crime is a misdemeanor, the maximum term of imprisonment is increased by three months.
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.
