AI Summary

This bill reclassifies certain offenses, such as sexual battery, aggravated assault, murder, unlawful throwing of a destructive device, and armed burglary, to the next higher degree of severity if the offense is committed by an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States. The reclassification results in the offense being ranked at a higher level for the purposes of sentencing and determining eligibility for gain-time under Florida's Criminal Punishment Code. The bill also amends the existing offense severity ranking chart to include the new reclassification provision.
