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