Title

Indecent exposure, third or subsequent conviction, penalties increased, Sec. 13A-6-68 am'd.

Summary

HB634 would make a third or subsequent indecent exposure conviction a Class C felony instead of a Class A misdemeanor.

What This Bill Does

It changes the penalty for indecent exposure so that only the third or later conviction is a Class C felony, while earlier convictions remain Class A misdemeanors. It includes a note about local-funding rules, stating the bill is exempt from those requirements because it defines or amends a crime. It becomes law on the first day of the third month after it is passed and signed by the Governor (or when it otherwise becomes law).

Who It Affects

• Individuals convicted of indecent exposure, especially those with two prior convictions, who would face a Class C felony on a third conviction
• Local governments and state lawmakers indirectly, since the bill references local-funding provisions but is described as exempt from those rules

Key Provisions

• Amends Section 13A-6-68 to make indecent exposure a Class A misdemeanor, except that a third or subsequent conviction is a Class C felony
• Declares the bill exempt from Amendment 621 local-funding requirements because it defines a new crime or amends the definition of an existing crime
• Sets the effective date as the first day of the third month after passage and governor’s approval
