Relates to the crime of aggravated criminal contempt
This bill (S 6836) requires that sentences for aggravated criminal contempt be served consecutively when the offense occurs while a person is awaiting sentencing on another felony charge. It specifically applies to individuals convicted of aggravated criminal contempt - such as violating protection orders, having prior contempt convictions, or committing contempt while in custody - while facing a separate felony case. The key change mandates that if imprisonment is ordered for both offenses, the sentences must run one after the other, not concurrently. This affects defendants in criminal contempt cases who also have pending felony charges, altering how their prison terms are structured.
