                      Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description:  Clarifying the elements of the crime of luring.

Sponsors:  Senator Fairley.

Senate Committee on Law & Justice

House Committee on Law & Justice

Background:  The crime of luring is committed if a stranger orders or lures a minor or developmentally disabled person into a structure or a motor vehicle without the consent of the parent or guardian.  Since enactment of this statute, incidents have occurred which involved luring a victim into an area obscured from public view but that would not constitute a structure.  It has been suggested that the statute should be amended to cover these situations.

Summary:  The crime of luring is redefined to include luring a minor or a person with a developmental disability into any area that is obscured from or inaccessible to the public.
