Description
Crimes against incapacitated adults; penalties. Increases the penalties for certain crimes when the victim is an incapacitated adult. The punishment for grand larceny increases from imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 20 years to a period for not less than five nor more than 25 years and the punishment for embezzlement increases to imprisonment for not less than five nor more than 40 years. Forgery is elevated from a Class 5 to a Class 4 felony and obtaining money or signature, etc., by false pretense is elevated from a Class 4 to a Class 3 felony. Current law does not connect the character of the victim with the scope of punishment. The bill also provides that where an incapacitated adult dies as a result of a person's abuse or neglect, that person is guilty of a Class 3 felony punishable by imprisonment of not less than five nor more than 20 years and a fine of not more than $100,000.
