AI Summary

This bill reclassifies certain criminal offenses committed by aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States to the next higher degree, including offenses such as sexual battery, aggravated assault, murder, unlawful use of a destructive device, and armed burglary. The reclassification results in the offenses being sentenced at a higher level, with increased penalties and reduced eligibility for gain-time. The bill also amends the state's Criminal Punishment Code to include this new reclassification provision.
