What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person is guilty of a Class H felony if they intentionally disarm a peace officer by taking from the officer a dangerous weapon or an item such as a tear gas bomb, hand grenade, projectile, shell, or pepper spray. This bill expands the crime so that it applies to intentionally disarming a correctional officer or juvenile correctional officer as well as a peace officer and includes items that the correctional officer requires for their duties, such as keys or radios.

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.
