Bill Summary
Requires life imprisonment without parole for persons convicted of the murder of a minor under the age of 18 in the course of the commission of a sex crime.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without parole for individuals convicted of murdering a minor under the age of 18 during the commission of a sex crime, such as sexual assault. Previously, the age threshold for this specific mandatory life sentence was 14 years old, and this change raises it to 18 years old, ensuring that the murder of any person under 18 in the context of a sex crime will result in the strictest possible punishment, meaning the convicted individual will never be eligible for release on parole.
