The bill amends R.S. 14:108.1(E) to increase the penalties for the crime of aggravated flight from an officer in Louisiana. Under the new provisions, individuals convicted of aggravated flight will face a maximum imprisonment of ten years, up from the previous five years, along with a potential fine of up to two thousand dollars.

Additionally, if the aggravated flight results in serious bodily injury, the penalty increases to a maximum of fifteen years of hard labor imprisonment, replacing the previous maximum of ten years. This legislation aims to enhance the consequences for individuals who engage in such offenses, thereby strengthening law enforcement's ability to address and deter aggravated flight incidents.
