CRIM CD-ENDANGERING CHILD                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961,  relating  to  the  offense  of      
   endangering  the life or health of a child.  Provides that endangering      
   the life of a child is a Class 3 felony for  a  first  offense  and  a      
   Class  2  felony  for  a second or subsequent offense. If death of the      
   child results, it is a Class X felony.  Provides that endangering  the      
   health  of  a child is a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a      
   Class 3 felony for a second or subsequent offense (now the current law      
   for endangering either the life or health of the child).                    
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Eliminates  provisions  that   limit   criminal   liability   for      
   endangering  the  life  or health of the child to those persons having      
   the care or custody of the child under 18.                                  
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE                                                    
          SB340 would increase the prison population by 31 inmates at a        
          cost of $5,779,700 over ten years.

          There may be an increase in judicial workloads; it is not pos-       
          sible to determine impact on the number of judges needed.
