SB 989 Indecent liberties with children; penalty.
Introduced by: Kenneth W. Stolle | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Indecent liberties with children; penalty. Rewrites the indecent liberties with children statute to clarify that, except for the portion on receiving remuneration for encouraging a child to perform in sexually explicit visual material, the child must be under 14 years of age for a crime to have occurred. Increases the penalty for a first offense to a Class 5 felony and a Class 6 felony for subsequent offenses. The bill provides that a second or subsequent violation of the section prohibiting taking indecent liberties with a child by a person in custodial or supervisory relationship is a Class 5 felony. The bill also provides that a first offense under the taking indecent liberties with children section is defined as a sexually violent offense; under current law the offense is not defined as such until the second offense. This means that a person would have to register with the Sexual Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry after a first offense rather than a second offense and elevates the penalty for knowingly failing to register or reregister or knowingly providing false information from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony.
