By Senator Christopher L. "Chris" Smith (D, Palm Beach-Broward)
A bill to be entitled
An act relating to offenses committed on the grounds of a religious institution; creating s. 775.0865, F.S.; providing for the reclassification of the felony degree for a violation of the offense of burglary or theft when committed on the grounds of a religious institution; providing an effective date.
Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1. Section 775.0865, Florida Statutes, is created to read:
775.0865 Offenses committed on the grounds of a religious institution; reclassification.—
(1) For purposes of this section, the term “religious institution” has the same meaning as provided in s. 496.404.
(2) The felony degree of any violation of:
1. Section 810.02, relating to burglary; or
2. Section 812.014, relating to theft,
shall be reclassified as provided in this section if the offense is committed on the grounds of a religious institution.
(3)(a) In the case of a felony of the third degree, the offense is reclassified to a felony of the second degree.
(b) In the case of a felony of the second degree, the offense is reclassified to a felony of the first degree.
(c) In the case of a felony of the first degree, the offense is reclassified to a life felony.
For purposes of sentencing under chapter 921 and determining incentive gain-time eligibility under chapter 944, a felony offense that is reclassified under this subsection is ranked one level above the ranking under s. 921.0022 or s. 921.0023 of the offense committed.
Equal protection under the law. Totally.

This will certainly be laughed out of Judiciary, right? Right?
