Stiffer Penalty Proposed For Scott’s Law
April 3, 2019 12:18PM CDT
At least one Republican lawmaker is suggesting stiffer penalties for violators of Scott’s Law. Representative John Cabello is suggesting the penalty be bumped up to a class four felony for first time offenders. Sentencing guidelines for that level of felony warrant one-to-three years in prison. The move comes after recent collisions with law enforcement vehicles and officers, including the crash that killed ISP Trooper Brooke Jones-Story.
