940.51 (1g) “Adult at risk” has the meaning given in s. 55.01 (1e). 940.66 (title) Battery to an elder person or an adult at risk.
940.66 (1) Recklessness. Notwithstanding s. 939.24, in this section, “recklessly” means conduct that creates a situation of unreasonable risk of harm to and demonstrates a conscious disregard for the safety of the elder person. Section 24i. 940.66 (2) (a), (b) and (c) of the statutes, as affected by 2025 Wisconsin Act 24, are amended to read: 940.66 (2) (a) Whoever intentionally causes great bodily harm to an elder person or an adult at risk is guilty of a Class C felony.
