Increases the minimum prison term to five years and restricts eligibility for community supervision, deferred adjudication, and parole for certain felonies when a firearm is used or exhibited, so less ability to avoid or shorten imprisonment when firearms are involved in listed offenses.
the minimum term of imprisonment for a second or third degree felony listed in Article 42A.054(a), Code of Criminal Procedure, is increased to five years if an affirmative finding has been entered in the judgment in the case under Article 42A.054(d), Code of Criminal Procedure.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only addresses enhanced criminal penalties, minimum sentences, community supervision restrictions, and parole eligibility when a firearm is used or exhibited in certain felonies. This falls under the firearms topic as consequences tied to firearm use in offenses, but does not change rules on buying, owning, carrying, background checks, or other listed subtopics. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, immigration enforcement, or custody/support.
