The proposed bill aims to impose enhanced sentencing for illegal aliens convicted of certain criminal offenses, particularly when the victim is a minor. It defines "illegal alien" as an individual not entitled to lawfully reside or work in the United States. Under the new provisions, if an illegal alien is convicted of a felony involving a minor, their sentence will be escalated based on the class of felony they were convicted of, with specific enhancements outlined for Class D, C, B, and A felonies. Additionally, if an illegal alien is convicted of a misdemeanor involving a minor, they will be punished as if they committed a Class C felony.

The bill introduces new legal language that mandates these enhanced penalties, while no deletions from current law are specified. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives with a significant majority.
