Introduced by: R. Creigh Deeds | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Definition of violent felony; penalty. Removes an "and" in the list of violent felonies to make it clear that a person does not need to be convicted of both § 18.2-308.1 (possession of weapon on school property) and § 18.2-308.2 (possession of firearm by a felon) in order to have the offense qualify as a violent felony for the purpose of the sentencing guidelines. The bill also provides that using a firearm in a threatening manner in a school is the only felony in § 18.2-308.1 that qualifies as a violent felony.
