What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the definition of "substantial bodily harm" includes a petechia, which is defined as a minute colored spot that appears on the skin, eye, eyelid, or mucous membrane of a person as a result of a localized hemorrhage or rupture to a blood vessel or capillary.
This bill redefines "petechia" to specify that the hemorrhage or rupture must be caused by strangulation or suffocation.
