Summary

The bill tightens Indiana’s criminal statutes by redefining what counts as a crime of violence and by changing how violent offenders, arrestees, and criminals are classified. It adds two new firearm offenses—dangerous possession with two prior convictions and unlawful handgun carrying with two priors—to the violence list, and removes language about repeat violent arrestees. The changes affect sentencing, parole procedures, and the way prior convictions are considered for certain crimes.
