Perry (SB 87) Act No. 290
Prior law provided that battery of a correctional facility employee includes the use of force
or violence upon the person of the employee by throwing feces, urine, blood, saliva, or any
form of human waste by an offender while the offender is incarcerated and is being detained
in any jail, prison, correctional facility, juvenile institution, temporary holding center,
halfway house, or detention facility.
New law retains prior law and adds that the throwing of water or any other liquid by an
offender also constitutes battery of a correctional facility employee.
Effective upon signature of the governor (June 14, 2013).
