Maddy summarySB 432 updates the legal penalties for mistreating human remains by distinguishing between two levels of offenses. The bill defines a lesser crime for actions that outrage reasonable family sensibilities, such as general abuse or moving a body, while establishing a more serious felony for acts that outrage community sensibilities, including sexual activity, dismemberment, or mutilation. It also clarifies that "abuse" includes any treatment not recognized by generally accepted community or professional standards. These changes directly affect individuals who handle corpses and law enforcement officials who prosecute such cases.
