| This amendment removes the 25 year minimum mandatory sentence contained in the original bill which may result in a reduction in future correctional costs. It also allows judicial discretion to impose any number of years in prison followed by supervised release for life for violators of certain sex offenses which will increase costs to the Department of Corrections. As amended, this legislation will still result in increased costs to the state's correctional system as well as the Judicial Department. | |||||||||
