Bill Summary
For legislation to protect bank employees and customers by increasing the penalty for armed robberies. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen the penalties for armed robberies, particularly those targeting banks and credit unions. It amends existing laws to increase the minimum prison sentences for armed robberies, with even harsher penalties for those committed while wearing a disguise or mask, or while armed with a firearm, explosive device, or other deadly weapon. The bill also allows legal action to be brought in the jurisdiction where the plaintiff or defendant lives or has a place of business or employment, as well as where the crime was committed or where the main office of the bank or depository is located. These changes are intended to better protect bank employees and customers from violent crimes.
