Increase sentence range for third degree felony domestic violence
HB 111 increases the potential prison sentences for individuals convicted of third-degree felony domestic violence and establishes a legal presumption that such offenders should be sentenced to prison rather than probation. This change applies specifically to repeat offenders who have a history of domestic violence convictions or related offenses against family or household members. The bill also mandates minimum prison terms for cases involving pregnant victims, ensuring stricter penalties when the offender knew the victim was pregnant at the time of the crime. Additionally, the legislation expands the ability of corporations and organizations to file for protection orders if they are targeted by domestic violence threats.
