Bill Overview

New sentencing rules for Class D1 crimes
The law sets a standard sentence for Class D1 crimes: up to 5 years in prison. At least 20% of the sentence must be served before release, including electronic monitoring. Starting November 1, 2026, one prior Class C or D means 1 to 7 years; three or more Class C or D priors, or any Class Y, A, or B prior, means 2 to 10 years and at least 30% served. Fines for Class D1 crimes follow the state fine schedule. Some listed crimes are exempt from these Class D1 penalty rules. Section 51.1 does not apply to Class D1 offenses.
Higher dollar cutoffs for some crimes
The law raises key dollar thresholds. For viatical‑settlement violations, the trigger moves from $500 to $2,500. For embezzlement tied to mechanics liens, the cutoff rises from $2,500 to $15,000. Cases under these amounts no longer meet the higher‑value offense tier.
Felony for posing as police
Beginning January 1, 2026, pretending to be a law‑enforcement officer is a Class D1 felony. Starting November 1, 2026, a conviction can bring prison time and a fine up to $10,000. It is also a Class D1 felony to put police‑style insignia on a car to make drivers stop. Peace officers can seize vehicles, boats, planes, and gear used to impersonate police.
