Enact the Repeat Offender Act

HB 522 establishes a new repeat offender classification to increase penalties for specific firearm offenses and expands the scope of relief from firearms disabilities. The bill also allows for the automatic sealing of records for fourth and fifth-degree felonies. Additionally, it mandates that law enforcement agencies collect and file detailed criminal identification data, including fingerprints and photographs, for individuals convicted of certain crimes and for children adjudicated delinquent for violent acts. Courts are required to submit weekly reports summarizing case details to the state bureau to support this enhanced tracking system.
