SCS/SB 433 - This act creates the offense of vehicle hijacking, which is committed when an individual knowingly uses or threatens the use of physical force upon another individual to seize or attempt to seize possession or control of a vehicle. This offense is punished as a Class B felony unless one of the aggravating circumstances listed in the act was present during the commission of the offense, in which case it is punished as a Class A felony. Also, the definition of dangerous felony is modified to include the offense of vehicle hijacking when punished as a Class A felony. If a person is charged with the offense of vehicle hijacking, and is between the ages of 12 and 17 or 18 then a mandatory hearing is conducted to determine if the case shall proceed in a juvenile court or a court of general jurisdiction. This act is similar to SB 459 (2019). CHARLEY MERRIWEATHER
