Regards offenses committed while wearing a mask or disguise

HB 639 amends existing laws to impose additional prison or commitment time for individuals who commit certain violent crimes while wearing a mask or disguise. The bill specifically targets adults by adding one year to their felony sentences if they are convicted of wearing such coverings during the offense. It also extends these stricter penalties to minors adjudicated as delinquent, requiring courts to commit them to youth services for longer periods depending on the severity of the crime. These additional time sentences are served consecutively to the original punishment for the underlying offense, with a total commitment limit of five years for any single delinquent act.
