TO PROVIDE AN ENHANCED SENTENCE FOR PERSONS CONVICTED OF RAPE OF A CHILD TWELVE YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER; TO PERMIT THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS TO ADMINISTER MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE TREATMENT FOR CHEMICAL CASTRATION.

HB 1535 aimed to establish an enhanced sentence for individuals convicted of rape when the victim is twelve years of age or younger. The bill would also have permitted the Department of Corrections to administer Medroxyprogesterone Acetate treatment, a form of chemical castration. This bill directly affected persons convicted of these crimes and granted new authority to the Department of Corrections regarding treatment options.
