What’s in it
AI summary People convicted of certain violent felonies for a third time would face new criminal penalties and receive less credit for good behavior while in prison. Judges would also require a risk assessment for these offenders if their crimes involved domestic abuse, harassment, or stalking. These changes aim to limit how much time these specific repeat offenders can take off their sentences.1
