Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person is guilty of burglary if he or she intentionally enters
a building, dwelling, or certain other places without the consent of the person in
lawful possession of the building, dwelling, or other place and with intent to steal or
commit a felony in the building, dwelling, or other place. A person convicted of a
burglary may be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than 15
years or both, except that the person may be imprisoned for not more than 60 years
if he or she commits the burglary while armed, commits a battery during the burglary
on a person lawfully inside the building, dwelling, or other place, or uses explosives
to open a depository in the building, dwelling, or other place.
This bill provides that the maximum prison term for burglary may be increased
by not more than five years if: 1) the place that is burglarized was a dwelling, a
non-commercial boat with sleeping quarters, or a motor home; and 2) if another
person was lawfully present in the dwelling, boat, or motor home at the time of the
burglary.
