MODERATE

This bill was amended to add more sponsors and update its legislative status. The substantive changes include adding a new definition for 'Person' and modifying the age requirement for the second-degree offense to specify that the perpetrator must be 18 years or older. The amendment also clarifies that prior convictions can include those obtained before the person turned 18.

The bill's scope was slightly modified to explicitly require the perpetrator to be an adult (18 or older) for second-degree charges, while maintaining the ability to count prior convictions regardless of when they occurred.

Added a new definition for 'Person' to clarify it means a natural person.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified the second-degree offense to require the perpetrator to be 18 years or older.

REQUIREMENT

Updated the language around prior convictions to explicitly include convictions that occurred before the person turned 18.

TECHNICAL

Changed the word 'economic' to 'economic, physical, or substantial emotional harm' for clarity in the second-degree offense description.
