Bill > SB60

This bill expands legal protections for older persons (age 60 and above) and vulnerable persons by modifying existing criminal penalties. Specifically, the bill adds new types of theft and deceptive trade practices to the list of crimes that trigger enhanced penalties when committed intentionally against older or vulnerable individuals. The additional penalties include longer imprisonment terms, with courts required to consider factors such as the crime's circumstances, the offender's criminal history, and the impact on the victim when determining the sentence length. Moreover, individuals convicted of these expanded crime categories can now be liable for civil penalties ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 for a first offense and $10,000 to $30,000 for subsequent offenses, which will be recovered by the Attorney General and deposited into funds supporting victims of crimes against older and vulnerable persons. The bill also stipulates that convicted offenders would not be eligible for probation or parole until they have paid at least 80 percent of court-ordered restitution. These changes aim to provide stronger legal safeguards and financial protections for older and vulnerable populations who are at higher risk of financial exploitation and criminal victimization.
