CRIME/PUNISHMENT: Provides relative to sentencing of defendants who are victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or human trafficking. (8/1/25)

SB 152 modifies sentencing guidelines for defendants who are victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or human trafficking. The bill removes references to "psychological abuse" from the qualifying conditions, narrowing the scope to only these three specific victimization types. This change affects criminal sentencing decisions in cases where a defendant has experienced one of these severe crimes. The legislation streamlines the legal criteria for judges to consider when determining sentences, without creating new programs or penalties. It focuses on clarifying which victim experiences trigger special sentencing considerations under existing law.
