Bill Summary
Relative to the enforcement of mandatory minimum sentences for firearm related crimes. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure the enforcement of mandatory minimum sentences for firearm-related crimes. It proposes amending the state's criminal laws to make judges who fail to impose the required minimum sentences or release individuals accused of such crimes on bail, civilly liable for any damages caused by the offender after their release. The bill seeks to remove judicial immunity in these cases, allowing for potential civil liability for judges who do not adhere to the mandatory minimum sentencing provisions.
