Printed on recycled paper 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1. 17·A MRSA §1252, sub.§5.B, as enacted by PL 1999, c. 
536, §2, is amended to read: 
5-B. 
In using a sentencing alternative involving a term of 
imprisonment for 
a 
person convicted of the attempted murder, 
manslaughter, elevated aggravated assault or aggravated assault 
of a child who had not in fact attained the age of 6 years ~ 
a person who had attained 65 years of age at the time the crime 
was 
committed, 
a 
court shall assign special weight to this 
objective fact in determining the basic term of imprisonment as 
the first step in the sentencing process. 
The court shall assign 
special weight to any subjective victim impact in determining the 
maximum period of incarceration in the 2nd step in the sentencing 
process. 
The court may not suspend that portion of the maximum 
term of imprisonment based on objective or subjective victim 
impact in arriving at the final sentence as the 3rd step in the 
sentencing process. 
Nothing in this subsection may be construed 
to restrict a court in setting a sentence from considering the 
age of the victim in other circumstances when relevant. 
SUMMARY 
This bill requires 
a 
court, 
when imposing a 
sentence of 
imprisonment, to consider the age of the victim of a crime of 
attempted murder, manslaughter, elevated aggravated assault or 
assault if the victim was at least 65 years of age at the time of 
the crime. 
The current law already requires that the age of the 
victim be considered if the victim was less than 6 years of age 
at the time of the crime.

Committee Amendment CA_A_H852 (House)

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT ,,4, to H.P. 1373, L.D. 1847, Bill, "An 
Act To Implement the Recommendations of the Commission To Improve 
Community Safety and Sex Offender Accountability Regarding Public 
Notification by Law Enforcement" 
Amend the bill by inserting after the title the following: 
'Mandate preamble. 
This measure requires one or more local 
units of government to expand or modify activities so as 
to 
necessitate additional expenditures 
fro~ local revenues but does 
not provide funding for at least 
90~ of those expenditures. 
Pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section 2l, 
2/3 of all of the members elected to each House have determined 
it necessary to enact this measure. ' 
Further amend the bill by striking out all of section 5. 
SUMMARY 
Under the bill the Board of Trustees of the Maine Criminal 
Justice Academy will set minimum standards for a notification 
policy as authorized by statute, which is consistent with the 
board's practice. 
This amendment strikes language that requires 
the board of trustees to use a model sex offender notification 
policy developed by the Maine Chiefs of Police Association. 
In 
setting minimum policy standards, in accordance with the Maine 
Revised Statues, Title 25 the Legislature strongly encourages the 
board to seek input from the Maine Chiefs of Police Association, 
sexual assault response teams and sexual assault crisis centers.
