Citations Affected:
IC 9-30-5-3
;
IC 35-50-2-1.
Synopsis: Sentencing. Provides an enhanced penalty for operating while intoxicated when the
offender has a previous unrelated conviction for a violation that occurred before July 1, 2001.
Eliminates a mathematical error in the definition of "minimum sentence" by changing the
definition of "minimum sentence" for murder from 30 years to 45 years and by changing the
definition of "minimum sentence" for a Class D felony from one year to one-half year. (This
committee report for ESB 67: (1) adds language to restore a reference to the defined term
"previous conviction of operating while intoxicated" in the drunk driving law that was eliminated
in HEA 1618-2001; and (5) removes provisions of ESB 67 added by the House of
Representatives that: (A) provide alternative sentencing options for offenders convicted of a drug
offense (B) prohibit the department of correction, county jails, community corrections facilities,
and juvenile detention facilities and centers from profiting financially from providing telephone
service to confined offenders; (C) describe the duties of the board of correction; and (D) void
bylaws adopted by the board of correction before October 1, 1980.)
Effective: Upon passage; July 1, 2001.
