What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who intentionally causes bodily harm to another

without the other person's consent commits the crime of ordinary battery. A person

convicted of ordinary battery is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and may be fined

not more than $10,000, imprisoned for not more than nine months, or both.

Current law provides more severe penalties for battery committed against

certain public agents, emergency care providers, and government officials and

employees, including a person operating or driving a public transit vehicle. A person

who causes bodily harm to the operator or driver on a public transit vehicle is guilty

of a Class I felony and may be fined not more than $10,000, imprisoned for not more

than three years and six months, or both.

Under this bill, a person who causes bodily harm to a person who is working to

construct, repair, or maintain a highway is guilty of a Class I felony and may be fined

not more than $10,000, imprisoned for not more than three years and six months, or

both.
