You can get it ever by just a just a second to look over the bill. In your words you have a opportunity to look over the bill if you'll discount a look up so I engage if you all are ready to go. Ok with their representative gets away you recognize to present to the committee house bill one zero zero six thank you madame chair committee so the bill that you have before you house bill one zero zero six as a bill that comes to us from the code revision commission. That's where this discussion originated it is really just technical and nature and for the purposes of clarification as you'll see the bill concerns what we call the firearms enhancement sentencing for a felony with the firearm and basically their exists in law currently and enhancement a sentence enhancement of up to fifteen years if you've used a firearm in the commission or escape from a felony and that's existing law and there are certain release eligibility requirements that apply to the farms enhancement that existing law and so what we want to clarify was we changed that in the protect act that beginning january one twenty twenty four any release eligibility on the firearms enhancement would be one hundred percent time so for any time that's imposed on the parm is enhancement beginning january one twenty twenty four there will be no early release and so we just all we did was inserted those dates ending the current release eligibility rules on january one twenty twenty four for the laws as it exists now and then saying beginning january one twenty twenty four there will be no early release eligibility for the period of time that a person is sentenced on the firearms enhancement that's all it does it just simply clarifies how the release eligibility rules apply and that they change on january one twenty twenty four that's all it does and i'm happy to answer any questions members are there any questions we have same property recognized for a question thank you manner chair representative gas away when it says line twenty three for an affairs committed one or after july seventy two thousand seven does that mean it's gonna go retro active to those people already in jail no and that's a good question so this does not change any sentencing for anyone. Uh who's already committed in advance in it this is but the changes the day for people who commit an advance on our after january one twenty twenty four while it makes clear is that anyone who commits an affairs honor before january one twenty twenty four will be uh senate according to the law as it exists after january one twenty twenty four the new rules apply so it doesn't change anything.
