Brandtjen, Donovan and Sinicki, cosponsored by Senator Jacque. Referred
to Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety.
AB926,1,2
1An Act to amend 943.10 (1m) (intro.) of the statutes;
relating to: entering
2certain places with intent to commit battery and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, it is a Class F felony to enter a dwelling or certain other
places with intent to steal or commit a felony therein. Under this bill, it is also a Class
F felony to enter one of those places with intent to commit battery that is
misdemeanor battery rather than felony battery. Under current law, the penalty for
a Class F felony is a fine not to exceed $25,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 12 years
and six months, 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.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
