Bill > HB06034

This bill proposes to modify existing election law by establishing a mandatory minimum prison sentence of twelve months for certain felony violations related to elections. The key provision is that these specific felony election law infractions will now require a mandatory one-year prison term that cannot be suspended or reduced by a judge. This means that individuals convicted of these serious election law felonies will be required to serve at least one full year in prison, regardless of mitigating circumstances. The bill aims to create a stricter deterrent against electoral misconduct by implementing a standardized, non-negotiable prison sentence for the most serious electoral offenses. While the bill does not specify the exact election law felonies that would trigger this mandatory sentence, it suggests a legislative intent to protect the integrity of the electoral process by imposing significant consequences for severe violations.
