New mandatory sentencing guidelines establish minimum, presumptive, and maximum prison terms based on victim age and offense severity, with stricter penalties for crimes against children under 12 years old.

Life imprisonment without parole eligibility is now mandated for first-time convictions involving commercial sexual exploitation or child sex trafficking of minors, and for repeat offenders with prior dangerous crime convictions.

New provisions establish that sentences for dangerous crimes against children are generally consecutive to other sentences, with specific exceptions for concurrent service when only one victim is involved in sexual abuse cases.
