Bill overview
This bill creates a new first-degree crime of home invasion, which involves entering a residence with the intent to commit a crime or cause harm, while someone is present. It also upgrades burglary of a residence to a second-degree crime if the perpetrator inflicts injury, threatens someone, or commits a serious crime while inside. Furthermore, home invasion convictions are subject to the No Early Release Act, requiring offenders to serve a significant portion of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
