SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Certain attempted sexual offenses. Repeals § 18.2-67.5, which criminalizes and penalizes several attempted sexual offenses. These attempted sexual offenses are already prosecuted under the general attempt statutes and the substantive sexual offense statutes. This bill does not make any substantive changes to the law. The bill is recommended by the Virginia Bar Association (VBA). After the 2000 Session of the General Assembly, the chairmen of the Courts of Justice Committee requested the VBA to study the repeal of this section, with the assistance of the Commonwealth's Attorneys Services Council and the Virginia College of Criminal Defense Attorneys.
