Bill Summary
Relative to providing protection from child enticement. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to provide additional protection from child enticement. It amends existing law to prohibit any person, without permission from the child's parent or legal guardian, from knowingly enticing a child under the age of 16 to enter a vehicle, unless the person is a law enforcement officer, emergency services provider, firefighter, or other authorized individual acting within the scope of their duties. The bill establishes an affirmative defense if the person's actions were in response to a bona fide emergency or to preserve the child's health, safety, or welfare. Violations of this provision would be punishable by imprisonment and/or a fine.
