An act relating to repeat violent offenders, assaults against a protected professional, and victim input on plea agreements

Summary

The legislation adds a repeat‑offender rule that forces a minimum three‑year prison term for anyone convicted of a third violent felony, with no chance for early release. It also raises jail time and fines for simple, aggravated, and bodily‑fluid assaults against police, firefighters, health‑care workers, child‑welfare staff and emergency medical personnel. Finally, it requires prosecutors to notify victims and let them speak before a plea agreement involving two‑year‑plus sentences is accepted.
