Minutes for SB60 - Committee on Judiciary
Short Title
Defining proximate result for purposes of determining when a crime is committed partly within this state.
Minutes Content for Wed, Feb 3, 2021
Jason Thompson presented a bill brief on SB60 explaining how jurisdictional application is determined when a crime occurs partly within the state. This bill was written to directly overturn a contrary statement by a Kansas Court of Appeals panel in State v. Rozell, 58 Kan.App.2d 570, 583 (2020). (Attachment 9)
Senator Thompson asked if this would include internet and identity theft. Jason Thompson relied that it could and that the conferees would probably be speaking to that point.
Adam Proffitt submitted the fiscal note for SB60. (Attachment 10)
Proponents, Oral
Kristafar Aislieger spoke in support of SB60 stating this bill is intended to close a loophole created by the Rozell decision. He argued that as a matter of policy, we should not let out-of-state actors create problems for Kansas citizens. He stated that this is a broad bill and would cover many topics. (Attachment 11)
Opponent, Written
- Jennifer Roth, Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (Attachment 12)
There was no neutral testimony and the hearing was closed.
