‘Sec. 1. 17-A MRSA §1252, sub-§4-F is enacted to read:
4-F. If the State pleads and proves that a Class B or C crime was committed with the intent to facilitate a chapter 11 crime, and the person is convicted of both the offense that facilitated the chapter 11 crime and the chapter 11 crime, the sentencing class for the crime that facilitated the chapter 11 crime is one class higher than it would otherwise be. In the case of a Class A crime, the sentencing class is not increased, but the prior record must be given serious consideration by the court when imposing a sentence.
Sec. 2. 17-A MRSA §1256, sub-§3-A is enacted to read:
3-A. Notwithstanding subsection 3, paragraph B, if the State pleads and proves that a Class A, B or C crime was committed with the intent to facilitate a chapter 11 crime, and the person is convicted of both the offense that facilitated the chapter 11 crime and the chapter 11 crime, the court may sentence the person to serve the terms of imprisonment consecutively.’
