What does this amendment do?

This amendment lowers the age threshold for enhanced penalties in the grooming offense by removing references to 'under sixteen' and '(16) years of age' from the penalty provisions.

Removes 'under sixteen' and '(16) years of age' from subsection (b)(ii)(B), which specifies one of the intent elements for the grooming offense. This changes the language that previously limited enhanced penalties to minors under age 16 to now apply more broadly. (Page 5, lines 8-9)
