What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who intentionally causes bodily harm to another

person commits the crime of simple battery and is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

Current law provides greater penalties for persons who intentionally cause bodily

harm to certain persons, which is special circumstances battery. For example, under

current law, a person who intentionally causes bodily harm to a probation, extended

supervision, and parole agent; a community supervision agent; or an aftercare agent

is guilty of a Class H felony. This bill expands this special circumstances battery

crime so that intentionally harming a family member of the agent, or threatening to

harm the agent or a family member of the agent, is also a Class H felony. In addition,

the bill expands the definition of agent to include an agent in a comparable program

authorized by a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band.

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.
