SB2100 Summary

• Amends 21 O.S. Section 51.1 to restrict mandatory minimum sentencing enhancements to cases where a person has been convicted of two violent felony offenses and commits a subsequent violent felony offense (as enumerated in Section 571 of Title 57).

• Eliminates prior enhancement provisions for second and subsequent offenses that did not require the underlying offenses to be violent felonies, deleting four previous penalty tiers.

• Establishes a sentencing range of 20 years to life imprisonment for those meeting the violent felony enhancement criteria, requiring offenses to be separate and distinct.

• Prohibits application of existing enhancement provisions if another statutory enhancement already exists for the felony offense, and caps sentences at the statutory maximum even if enhancement would exceed it.

• Provides state immunity from liability claims related to incarceration periods resulting from this act and becomes effective November 1, 2014.
