What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who, while knowingly resisting or obstructing a

law enforcement officer, causes substantial bodily harm to a law enforcement officer

is guilty of a felony. "Substantial bodily harm" means a bodily injury that causes a

laceration that requires stitches, staples, or a tissue adhesive; any fracture of a bone;

a broken nose; a burn; a petechia; a temporary loss of consciousness, sight, or

hearing; a concussion; or a loss or fracture of a tooth. This bill adds a soft tissue injury

to the list of injuries that would result in the commission of a felony.
