AI Summary
This bill establishes a mandatory minimum sentence of six months for the willful destruction, defacement, or damage of burial tombs and grave markers. It amends the existing law by requiring a minimum fine of $1,000 and prohibiting the sentence from being reduced, suspended, or eligible for probation, parole, or good conduct deductions until the full six-month sentence is served. The bill also stipulates that prosecutions under this section cannot be continued without a finding or placed on file, and the provisions of Section 87 of Chapter 276 (which allow for the suspension of sentences) do not apply to these offenses.
