Senate amendment makes the following changes to the 3rd edition.

Amends proposed GS 15A-1340.16(13a) concerning aggravated factors for criminal offenses providing that it is an aggravating factor when a defendant commits a violent offense and knew or reasonably should have known that a person under the age of 18 who was not involved in the commission of the offense was in a position to see or hear the offense (previously, the aggravating factor applied to persons under the age of 16).
