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 this bill, it is also a Class

F felony to enter one of those places with intent to commit battery that is

misdemeanor battery rather than felony battery. Under current law, the penalty for

a Class F felony is a fine not to exceed $25,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 12 years

and six months, or both.

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.
