What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, it is a Class I felony to cause bodily harm to a public officer

in order to influence the action of the public officer or as a result of any official action

taken by the public officer. This bill adds that it is also a Class I felony to threaten

to cause bodily harm to the public officer or to cause or threaten to cause bodily harm

to a family member of the public officer.

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.
