| 16 | 16 | unless at the time of the commission of the offense the actor was a | |
| 17 | 17 | licensed peace officer and the actor intentionally or knowingly | |
| 18 | 18 | caused bodily injury to another, in which event it is a felony of | |
| 19 | 19 | the third degree. | |
| 20 | 20 | (e) If conduct constituting an offense under this section | |
| 21 | 21 | also constitutes an offense under another section of this code, the | |
| 22 | 22 | actor may be prosecuted under either section or both sections. | |
| 23 | 23 | SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | |
