AB503,1,3

to
2create 948.10 (1) (a) of the statutes;
relating to: exposure to a minor and
3providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who exposes, or causes a child to expose, his or her
genitals or pubic area for sexual arousal or gratification is guilty of a misdemeanor
and is subject to a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than
nine months, or both. This bill changes the classification of the crime from a
misdemeanor to a felony if the person is at least 17 years old when the violation
occurs and subjects such person to a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment
for not more than three years and six months, or both.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
