AB677,1,3
1An Act to amend 939.632 (title), 939.632 (2) (intro.) and 939.632 (4); and
to
2create 939.632 (1) (dm) and 939.632 (3m) of the statutes;
relating to:
3sentencing for crimes on school premises and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, if a person commits a violent crime, as defined in current
law, on or within 1,000 feet of school premises, on a school bus, or at a school bus stop,
the maximum term of imprisonment for that crime increases either by five years, if
the violent crime is a felony, or by three months, if the violent crime is a misdemeanor.
Under this bill, if a person commits battery, mayhem, sexual assault, sexual assault
of a child, or reckless injury on school premises, the maximum term of imprisonment
is increased by six years for the first offense, ten years for the second offense, and 15
years for the third or subsequent offense if the person is not a student at the school
and if the crime is committed during school hours or within one hour of school
starting or ending.
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.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
