This change applies when a person unlawfully enters or remains in a dwelling or structure adapted for overnight accommodation. The bill also mandates that if a person was present in the residence at the time of the burglary, the offender must serve a minimum 85% of the imposed prison sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
