An Act protecting bank employees and customers

This bill strengthens penalties for crimes committed against banks and credit unions while also clarifying where such cases can be tried. It mandates that anyone robbing a bank or credit union while armed with a weapon or disguised faces a minimum of five years in state prison, with subsequent offenses carrying a minimum of fifteen years. Additionally, the law increases the minimum sentence for non-armed bank robberies from thirty months to life imprisonment or any term of years. The legislation also expands the locations where these cases can be prosecuted to include the courts where the crime occurred or where the bank's main office is located.
