MODERATE

This amendment replaces the entire text of Section 3 of HB 2104 with new provisions that significantly strengthen penalties for domestic abuse. The changes establish clearer felony classifications for domestic violence, particularly for repeat offenders, assaults involving weapons, and abuse against pregnant women. This matters because it increases the severity of consequences for domestic violence, making it harder for perpetrators to receive light sentences.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from general felony classification provisions to specifically include detailed domestic abuse penalties with enhanced felony classifications for repeat offenses, weapon-involved assaults, and abuse of pregnant victims.

REQUIREMENT

Domestic abuse penalties now include specific felony classifications: Class B5 felony for repeat offenses, Class B3 felony for assaults with dangerous weapons, and Class A3 felony for shooting intimate partners with deadly weapons.

New provisions specifically address domestic abuse against pregnant women, creating felony penalties ranging from Class A1 to Class A3 depending on pregnancy complications or injury to the unborn child.

Enhanced penalties for domestic abuse committed in the presence of a child, with Class B5 felony classification for repeat offenses involving children.

ENFORCEMENT

Added mandatory application of Section 51.1 provisions for repeat domestic abuse convictions, which typically means consecutive sentencing rather than concurrent sentences.
