AB555,1,3
1
An Act
to renumber and amend
941.21;
to amend
941.21 (title);
to create
2
941.21 (1) and (3) of the statutes;
relating to:
intentionally disarming a
3
correctional officer and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person is guilty of a Class H felony if they intentionally disarm a peace officer by taking from the officer a dangerous weapon or an item such as a tear gas bomb, hand grenade, projectile, shell, or pepper spray. This bill expands the crime so that it applies to intentionally disarming a correctional officer or juvenile correctional officer as well as a peace officer and includes items that the correctional officer requires for their duties, such as keys or radios.
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 enact as follows:
AB555,1

941.21 (title) of the statutes is amended to read:
