LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1075, as amended, Runner. Department of Justice: crime
statistics reporting.

molestation, as defined, in the same format and within the
same tables existing Table 1 and Table 2 that
report on the number, rate per 100,000 population, and percentage
change in other violent crimes, including rape.
