AI Summary
This bill creates a new crime of "fiscal victimization" against senior citizens or persons with disabilities. It provides that a person who commits certain theft or fraud offenses against a senior citizen or person with a disability can be charged with this new crime, which is one degree higher than the underlying offense, except for first-degree crimes where the penalty can be 10-30 years in prison. The bill also specifies that the fiscal victimization charge cannot merge with the underlying offense, and that the fiscal victimization charge must be dismissed if the underlying offense is dismissed or downgraded by the prosecutor.
