Establishing penalties for crimes against election officials
AI Summary
This bill establishes penalties for crimes against election officials in Alabama. Specifically, it adds a new section to the state's criminal code that imposes enhanced sentences for felony crimes shown to be motivated by the victim's role as an election official. The penalties range from a minimum of 15 years for a Class A felony to 3 months for a misdemeanor. The bill also amends an existing law to clarify that crimes against election officials, including attempts, conspiracies, and solicitations, are considered felonies involving moral turpitude, which can result in the loss of voting rights. The bill is intended to provide greater protection for election officials and safeguard the electoral process in Alabama.
