Enhances penalties for residential burglary and other crimes committed during or following a funeral.

The bill imposes enhanced penalties for residential burglary and other crimes committed during or following a funeral. It makes residential burglary a second-degree crime if the actor knew or reasonably believed that the residence would be unoccupied due to the death of a resident or due to a resident's travel to or attendance at a funeral. Additionally, it upgrades funeral disruption to a fourth-degree crime if the defendant uses information from a funeral announcement in furtherance of committing, attempting to commit, or conspiring with another to commit a crime.
