The House Courts and Criminal Code Committee heard SB 425, sponsored by Rep. Frizzell, on low level offenses. Author Sen. Young explained that the bill reduces a number of election crimes from Level 6 felonies to Class A misdemeanors. It also permits an alcoholic beverage retailer or dealer to: (1) accept credit cards; and (2) extend credit to a consumer if the amount owed is paid before the consumer leaves the premises.
The bill passed 9-0.
