The act spans §§ 609.01 to 609.912 (377 sections).

1986 c 388 s 12; 1989 c 20 s 1

Whoever assaults a pregnant woman and inflicts substantial bodily harm on an unborn child who is subsequently born alive may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.
