Establishes the crime of aggravated criminal concealment of identity
This bill creates a new offense called "aggravated criminal concealment of identity" for individuals who commit certain serious crimes while wearing a mask or face covering. It directly affects people committing listed offenses like assault, stalking, sexual abuse, kidnapping, robbery, or terrorism-related crimes while concealing their identity. The key mechanism is automatic sentencing enhancement: if the underlying crime is a violent felony, this new offense is treated as a violent felony; for other crimes, it elevates the offense category. Minimum sentences are specified, such as at least six years for indeterminate sentences when the underlying crime is a class B felony.
