What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law imposes a mandatory minimum sentence for felony murder or

second-degree intentional homicide if the person has been previously convicted of

felony murder, second-degree intentional homicide, or a crime punishable by life

imprisonment. The court must sentence the person to be confined in prison for at

least three years and six months. This bill increases the mandatory minimum

sentence to five years and adds the following crimes to be subject to the mandatory

minimum sentence if the person has been previously convicted of one of the crimes

or a crime punishable by life imprisonment: first-degree or second-degree reckless

homicide, homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle or firearm, aggravated battery,

mayhem, taking hostages, kidnapping, causing death by tampering with household

products, arson of buildings or damage by explosives, carjacking, armed robbery,

robbery of a financial institution, physical abuse of a child, child abduction, and child

trafficking.
