Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 14:2(B)(61), relative to crimes of violence; to designate the crime of illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities as a crime of violence; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill designates the crime of illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities as a crime of violence under Louisiana law. The existing definition of "crime of violence" in Louisiana's criminal code is being expanded to include this offense, which involves the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against a person or property, or the possession or use of a dangerous weapon. This change means that the illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities will be considered a more serious offense and may carry additional penalties or consequences for individuals convicted of this crime.
