Description

Mandatory minimum sentences to be served consecutively; penalty. Provides that for all crimes where a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment must be imposed on the guilty party, such sentence shall be served consecutively with any other sentence imposed on such party. Currently, the Code is inconsistent as some crimes that require a mandatory minimum sentence require that such sentences be served consecutively while others do not. Read the Bill »

Comments

ACLU-VA Criminal Justice, tracking this bill in Photosynthesis, notes:

The ACLU of Virginia generally opposes laws establishing mandatory minimum sentences. This bill would require that mandatory minimums be served consecutively further limiting judicial discretion.
