Bill > H993

This bill aims to increase the penalty for individuals convicted of certain sexual crimes. The key provisions are: 1. Individuals convicted three or more times of specific sexual offenses (including indecent assault and battery, rape, and various child sexual abuse crimes) will be punished by life imprisonment in state prison, with no possibility of parole, probation, work release, or furlough. 2. In any prosecution under this law, the introduction of certified court documents or probation records as evidence of prior convictions will be considered prima facie proof of those prior convictions, without requiring additional corroborating evidence or witness testimony. Overall, the bill seeks to impose stricter sentences and limitations on the release of repeat sexual offenders in order to increase public safety.
