The bill provides
a minimum sentence of 25 years for crimes involving gross sexual assault
against an individual not yet 12 years of age, gross sexual assault against
an individual not yet 12 years of age repeat offenders and aggravated sex
trafficking where the defendant knowingly promoted prostitution of a person
who had not yet attained 12 years of age.
It is unclear how many
individuals will be confined in correctional facilities for longer
periods of time. The current average cost of incarcerating one individual for
a single year is $55,203. No funding has been included in the bill at this
time.
