Text sets prison penalties for first-degree sexual offenses

The text sets prison penalties for first-degree criminal sexual conduct. These penalties apply to people convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. The text sets a minimum 15-year prison term except where its other penalty rules apply. For an offense against someone under 13, a person age 17 or older would face a minimum 25-year term. A person age 18 or older with a qualifying prior conviction involving someone under 13 would face life in prison without parole. If enacted, the text would take effect 90 days later.

The text requires lifetime electronic monitoring with certain prison sentences. This applies to people sentenced under those two penalty rules. The court must impose monitoring in addition to a prison sentence under subsection (2)(a) or (b). If enacted, the text would take effect 90 days later.
