This bill amends K.S.A. 21-6810 to establish that prior convictions for crimes defined by statutes later deemed unconstitutional by an appellate court cannot be used for criminal history scoring unless the unconstitutionality is subsequently overruled or reversed. The bill also includes various provisions regarding the classification and scoring of prior convictions, including the treatment of adult and juvenile offenses, and specifies that all prior convictions will be counted separately unless otherwise stated.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 21-6810, effectively replacing it with the new language that incorporates the changes regarding unconstitutional statutes and clarifies the scoring process for different types of offenses. The amendments are intended to be procedural and will apply retroactively, ensuring that the new rules are in effect for all relevant cases moving forward.
