S.B. 18 Criminal Offense Modifications: transcript

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, as efficient as our process is and as redundant, our process is in creating bills and those bills developing, uh, and passing through the, uh, process and, and going into code. Sometimes we miss a thing or two. Usually they're, um, uh, mostly, um, you know, commas and, and word changes and slight definition changes. Um, and that's essentially for the most part, with one exception. What this bill does is clarifying some, uh, some, you know, making some technical changes. But I wanna point out one, because it is an item of substance, I'll point it out so that it doesn't seem that I'm just giving the same old, this is a cleanup bill statement. Um, uh, on in section 76, uh, no, that's wrong, 76 dash five c dash 2 0 5. We inadvertently left a description of a, a description of a, of individuals that would, should be in a, uh, aligned with a more harsh penalty and were, if left alone, they would be, uh, just a misdemeanor. And so that section, if you refer to that section, which is in lines 1 54 through 1 61, that's the, it is fairly technical, but it describes an individual and it would be a violation that would apply, would be a third degree felony rather than a, um, uh, misdemeanor, which what we intended to do. We just missed it last year. So that's the bill. Mr. Chair, that concludes your presentation. It does. Okay.

You Mr. Chairman. I make a motion we pass out with the favorable recommendation Senate Bill 18 Motion is that we pass out Senate bill 18 with a favorable recommendation.

I think this just clarifies the code, obviously that we saw this in interim, and so I think we understand it pretty well.

Waive. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Waive, I go ahead and place the motion.

Senator Musselman, Mr. President SB 18 is a, uh, committee bill. Um, there was several cross references and, um, subsections that had some errors that we were cleaning up. In addition to that, we actually inadvertently, um, didn't include a penalty specifically dealing with Juab jutting material harmful to a minor. It was a, just a typo that we'd missed it, but this puts it in appropriately as what was intended from the previous legislation and offenses. Uh, it amends the offenses and names and, and corrects a citation for a public assistant fraud by recipient of a public assistant. Uh, just clarifying that particular title as well. Um, I vote him for questions.

Yeah. Will the sponsor yield Senator Musselman?

Pretty sure this bill doesn't have any substantive changes. I just wanted to have that clarified. Are there any substantive changes in the bill to the law?

There are no substantive changes. These were all, all these were intended in the previous legislation. They were just in essence corrections to some typos or mislabeling.

Thank you Mr. President.

Any summation or, and, and a motion I would move under the suspension of the rule that we pass SB 18 criminal offenses modifications.

Thank you President. Got so excited about passing Senate bill, uh, Senate bill, uh, 16. I missed an amendment on line. So I'd like to make a motion that we reconsider our actions on Senate bill 16 TRA tax credit review process amendments. I think we have a motion to reconsider probably for the purpose of placing an amendment.

Senate Bill 18, criminal offense modifications by Senator Musselman, dispose her to law enforcement and criminal justice with the vote.

Representative Hawkins. Uh, motion to circle.

Thank you. This is, uh, mostly technical changes related to criminal code reification, uh, committee bill out of law enforcement. Over the interim, happy to answer any questions if there are any. Uh, but mostly corrects some, uh, errors in the code. Most, uh, cross references, things like that.
