HB 1685 -- Murder in the First Degree

Sponsor:  LeVota

Currently, a person commits the crime of murder in the first
degree, a class A felony, when he or she knowingly causes the
death of another person after deliberation upon the matter.  This
bill, which establishes Erica and Zayquon's Law, expands the
crime to include when a person knowingly causes the death of a
child younger than 18 years of age and a heinous element is
involved in the commission of the crime.
