The bill will establish an aggravator at sentencing which the court may                                                         
apply when a defendant is convicted of promoting contraband and the                                                             
offense occurred in the course of the person's contractual, volunteer, or                                                       
employment duties. The aggravator, if proven, would allow the court                                                             
to sentence the person above the presumptive sentencing range for                                                               
promoting contraband, up to the maximum term.                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                
Contraband in our prisons seriously undermines the safety and security                                                          
of correctional facilities. Those who are held in a position of trust                                                           
know the rules and should be held to a higher standard.                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
