Bill Summary
Establishes mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment for second offense involving use of juvenile in automobile theft.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a mandatory minimum sentence of 18 months imprisonment, during which the defendant shall be ineligible for parole, for a second or subsequent offense involving the use of a juvenile (someone 17 years of age or younger) in the theft of an automobile. The existing law already made it a crime of the second degree for an adult (at least 18 years old) to knowingly use a juvenile to commit automobile theft, and this bill adds the mandatory minimum sentence provision for repeat offenders. The bill also clarifies that the defendant's mistaken belief about the juvenile's age is not a valid defense.
