Bill > H0777

This bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance criminal penalties for tampering with or fabricating physical evidence in certain criminal proceedings and investigations. Specifically, it establishes that tampering with or fabricating evidence related to a violent felony or a capital felony/offense resulting in death is a second-degree or first-degree felony, respectively, rather than a third-degree felony. The bill also ranks the offense of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence on the offense severity ranking chart of the Criminal Punishment Code.
