AI Summary
This bill creates a mandatory 10-year jail sentence for two or more people who break into a business with the intent to steal. The bill amends the state's existing laws on burglary and breaking and entering to prohibit the "smash and grab" tactic, where a group works together to break into a retail establishment and steal items. The new law would require that anyone convicted of this offense serve the full 10-year sentence without the possibility of suspension, deferment, or probation. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
