S 1276: Authorizes the court to order sexual offenders on probation, where such probation has been revoked, to terms of imprisonment which run consecutively to sentences already being served.
The proposed law aims to improve public safety by addressing consecutive sentences for sexual offenders on probation. In cases where a person has been sentenced to a period of probation, if the part of the sentence that provides for probation is revoked, the court must sentence the person to imprisonment or a combination of imprisonment and probation. However, if the person has been convicted of certain sex offenses, such as those listed in article one hundred thirty of the chapter or sections 255.25, 263.05, 263.10, or 263.15, the sentence of imprisonment for these offenses will run consecutively to any other term of imprisonment imposed for another such offense. This law is intended to take effect on the first of November next succeeding the date on which it becomes a law.
