Enacts the "chronic criminal act"

This bill creates a new class E felony offense called "aggravated criminal conduct" for individuals who commit a class A misdemeanor after having three or more prior misdemeanor or felony convictions within the preceding ten years. It directly affects people with multiple prior convictions who commit a serious misdemeanor, imposing felony penalties for repeat offenses. Key provisions define qualifying prior convictions (including out-of-state offenses with similar penalties) and adjust the ten-year lookback period to exclude time spent incarcerated. The bill also includes minor procedural updates to evidence rules for grand jury proceedings, but the main policy change is the new felony classification for repeat misdemeanor offenders. This is a substantive criminal law change, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
