What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, if a person is convicted of a Class I felony, the court may refrain

from designating the crime as a misdemeanor or a felony and sentence the person

or place the person on probation. When the person completes the sentence or

probation period, the court may then designate the crime as a Class A misdemeanor

or a Class I felony. In order to do this, the court must determine all of the following:

the felony was not a violent crime and did not involve a weapon, the person had not

previously been convicted of a felony, the public will not be harmed by the disposition,

and the felony sentence would be unduly harsh given the nature of the crime and the

character of the person.
