Bill Summary
Current law contains a definition of the term “violent crime” for the purposes of the crime of committing a violent crime in a school zone. The definition is parsed into a list of felonies and a list of misdemeanors. Under current law, one crime appears in the incorrect list; it is a felony but is listed as a misdemeanor. This bill moves the errant reference from the list of misdemeanors to the list of felonies. The Federal Bureau of Investigation collects crime data from law enforcement agencies. The FBI used to use a program called the system of uniform crime reports. Beginning in January 2021, the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System became the national standard. This bill updates terminology to reflect that change. For further information, see the NOTES provided by the Law Revision Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
AI Summary
This bill makes two primary changes: first, it updates the terminology used to refer to crime data collection by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), changing the reference from the "system of uniform crime reports" to the "National Incident-Based Reporting System," which is the FBI's current standard for collecting this data. Second, it corrects a misclassification within the definition of "violent crime" for the purposes of committing such a crime in a school zone; specifically, it moves the crime of felony stalking from the list of misdemeanors to the list of felonies where it correctly belongs, ensuring that this more serious offense is accurately categorized.
