Implemented “3-strikes” law for habitual violent felons
We are proud of our Administration’s successful push for the “3-strikes” law that provides mandatory sentences of 30 years to life for habitual violent felons. This law, which became Act 81 on May 8th, makes it clear that felons who commit multiple
violent crimes will go to jail and not be able to threaten the public again. We were successful in mandating incarceration for enticement of a child through the internet and does not allow this offense to be erased from the record of the perpetrator.
