What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who intentionally resists or obstructs a law

enforcement officer is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, and a person who

intentionally causes bodily harm to a law enforcement officer is guilty of a Class H

felony. Under this bill, a person who causes bodily harm to a law enforcement officer

while the person is resisting, obstructing, fleeing from, or attempting to flee from, a

law enforcement officer is guilty of a Class H felony.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
