2026 Criminal Law Changes.

Summary

The measure raises the felony class for strangulation assaults, adds definitions for serious injury, and makes several technical changes to domestic‑violence statutes. It also blocks expunction of records for people with pending charges and says that, unless a law or a judge says otherwise, multiple prison terms will run at the same time. The changes affect victims of violence, defendants in criminal cases, judges, prosecutors, and law‑enforcement officers.
