and Honadel, cosponsored by Senators

AB690,1,3 1An Act to amend 6.47 (1) (b), 36.11 (22) (a) 1. a. and 38.12 (11) (a) 1.; and to
2create
947.013 (1o) of the statutes; relating to: harassment of a person who
3is part of a neighborhood crime watch program and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person is subject to a forfeiture if he or she, intending to
harass or intimidate another, subjects another to physical contact or engages in a
course of conduct that harasses or intimidates another person and that serves no
legitimate purpose. Under this bill, a person who does such activities is guilty of a
misdemeanor if the victim is a member of a neighborhood crime watch program and
is engaged in activities related to the program.
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 and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
