A bill that narrows the age difference for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor cleared a senate committee Monday.
HB10, sponsored by Rep. Richard Greenwood, R-Roy, would drop the age difference for unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year old from 10 years to seven years. The crime is either a felony or class A misdemeanor, depending on the type of conduct involved.
