This bill increases the penalty for indecent exposure to a Class E felony when the offense occurs while the person is confined in a penal institution and is intended to abuse, torment, harass, or embarrass a guard or staff member. It mandates a minimum sentence of 14 days in jail that must be served consecutively to any other sentence the offender is currently serving. Additionally, if a person is convicted of multiple violations of this specific offense, each sentence must be served one after the other rather than at the same time.
