AB772,1,2 1An Act to create 943.10 (1j) of the statutes; relating to: burglary and providing
2a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person is guilty of burglary if he or she intentionally enters
a building, a dwelling, or one of a number of other specified places without the
consent of a lawful owner or occupant and with intent to steal or commit a felony in
the building, dwelling, or other place. A person convicted of burglary may be fined
not more than $25,000 or sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not more than 12.5
years, which, as in other cases, includes a term of confinement and a term of extended
supervision if the sentence is for more than one year or both. More severe penalties
apply if the person commits the offense while armed; if, during the burglary, the
person intentionally causes bodily harm to a person lawfully inside the building,
dwelling, or other place; or if the person uses explosives to open a depository in the
building, dwelling, or other place.
This bill prohibits a person from intentionally entering a dwelling, including a
motor home or a trailer, without the consent of a lawful owner or occupant and with
intent to cause bodily harm to a person who is legally present there. A person who
violates this prohibition may be fined not more than $10,000 or sentenced to a term
of imprisonment of not more than six years 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 concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
