1688	1690		(iv) forcible sexual abuse, Section 76-5-404; and
1689	1691		831
1690	1692		(b) applying the sentencing enhancement provided for in this section would result in a
1691	1693		832
1692	1694		lower maximum penalty than the penalty provided for under the section that

5429	5431		2674
5430	5432		plead no contest to an offense greater than an infraction or traffic violation that

5469	5471		(C) that custody by the individual who has committed the disqualifying offense
5470	5472		2694
5471	5473		ensures the best interests of the minor child are met;
5472	5474		2695
5473	5475		(vii)(A) there is no other responsible relative known to the court who has or likely
5474	5476		2696

5483	5485		(viii) that the continuation of the relationship between the individual with the

5490	5492		2704
5491	5493		(c) The individual with the disqualifying offense bears the burden of proof regarding
5492	5494		2705
5493	5495		why placement with that individual is in the best interest of the minor child over
5494	5496		2706
5495	5497		another responsible relative or equally situated individual who does not have a
5496	5498		2707
5497	5499		disqualifying offense.

5499	5501		(d) If, as provided in Subsection (11)(b)(vii)(B), there is a responsible relative known to
5500	5502		2709
5501	5503		the court who does not have a disqualifying offense:
