Bill Summary

Upgrades burglary of residence to crime of the second degree.

AI Summary

This bill upgrades the crime of burglary of a residence to a second-degree offense. Specifically, it amends the existing burglary law to treat the unlawful entry or surreptitious remaining in a dwelling or other overnight accommodation structure as a second-degree burglary, which carries harsher penalties than a third-degree burglary. The bill also requires offenders convicted of second-degree burglary to serve a minimum of 85% of their sentence before being eligible for parole, and imposes additional terms of parole supervision upon their release.
