This bill establishes mandatory imprisonment for individuals who commit crimes or offenses against elderly persons, defined as individuals aged 60 years or older. It amends current law to require that such offenders be sentenced to a term of imprisonment that includes a minimum term of incarceration, set at one-third to one-half of the total sentence. During this minimum term, the defendant will not be eligible for parole, ensuring that those who target vulnerable elderly individuals face significant consequences for their actions.

The legislation aims to enhance protections for elderly persons by imposing stricter penalties on those who commit crimes against them. By mandating a minimum term of imprisonment, the bill seeks to deter potential offenders and provide a measure of justice for victims and their families. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
