What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, it is a Class F felony to enter a dwelling or certain other

places with intent to steal or commit a felony therein. Under the bill, it is a Class

F felony to enter one of those places with the intent to commit battery, regardless of

whether the battery was a misdemeanor or felony battery.

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.
