Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
33 added · 27 removedPlain-language change summary
The amended version of HB 47 removes the definition of certain actions related to engaging in sexual activity against someone's will and hindering government functions. This change is significant because it narrows the scope of actions that would be considered illegal under this bill, potentially impacting the severity of penalties for individuals involved in those situations. By removing these provisions, the bill focuses more specifically on kidnapping and other violent actions without addressing sexual offenses or government obstruction, which might change how these issues are addressed in law.
