Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person is guilty of a type of special circumstances battery
if, without the consent of the person harmed, he or she intentionally causes bodily
harm to a technical college district or school district officer or employe who is acting
in that capacity and if he or she knows or has reason to know that the victim is a
technical college district or school district officer or employe. A person convicted of
this type of special circumstances battery may be fined not more than $10,000 or
imprisoned for not more than 2 years. This bill increases from 2 years to 5 years the
maximum term of imprisonment for this type of special circumstances battery. The
bill does not change the maximum fine for the crime.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
