Revises provisions relating to the additional penalty for certain crimes committed against an older person or a vulnerable person. (BDR 15-506)
SB 50 adds theft (defined as taking money or property worth $650+) to the list of crimes triggering enhanced penalties when committed against people aged 60+ or vulnerable adults. It requires additional prison time (served consecutively with the main sentence) and mandates that offenders pay victims at least 80% of restitution before receiving probation or parole. The bill also imposes civil penalties ($5,000-$30,000) on offenders convicted of these crimes, with funds split between victim compensation and a special unit investigating crimes against seniors/vulnerable people. This applies specifically to theft cases meeting the $650 threshold, expanding existing protections previously limited to crimes like assault or robbery.
