What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
