Relates to sentences of imprisonment for offenses committed while using public transportation

Summary

The legislation upgrades the severity of many offenses when they are committed on trains, buses, stations or other public‑transport property, moving them up a degree or category and, for certain felonies, imposing life‑possible sentences with a minimum of 20 years. It also creates a new Class A‑I felony for reckless endangerment that causes a person to fall onto tracks or face a vehicle collision. The changes apply to anyone convicted of the listed offenses while on public transportation, aiming to deter violent and drug‑related crimes in those spaces.
