Bill > HF2111

This bill amends Iowa law to prevent courts from deferring or suspending sentences for individuals convicted of violating Section 728.12, which pertains to the sexual exploitation of a minor. Deferred sentences allow a court to postpone a judgment, while suspended sentences allow a court to delay the imposition of a sentence, both of which can sometimes lead to charges being dismissed or reduced upon successful completion of certain conditions. By adding new provisions to Section 907.3 of the Code, this bill ensures that those found guilty of sexual exploitation of a minor will face a direct sentence from the court without the possibility of these sentencing alternatives.
