16	16	statutes; relating to: battery or threat to jurors and providing a penalty.
17	17	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
18	18	Under current law, the crime of battery is defined as intentionally causing
19	19	another person bodily harm and is a Class A misdemeanor. Under current law, if
20	20	the battery is a special circumstance battery—for example, the battery is
21	21	committed against an individual because of the individual’s status as a law
22	22	enforcement officer, witness in a trial, or juror—the penalty is increased to a Class
23	23	H felony. Under this bill, a threat or battery against a juror or a threat or battery
24	24	against a family member of a juror is a Class H felony.
25	25	Current law also allows a judge, upon sentencing a person for a crime, to 2025 - 2026 Legislature
26	26	SENATE BILL 5
27	27	- 2 - LRB-1322/1

29	29	prohibit the person from contacting a victim of or witness to the person’s crime
30	30	during any part of the person’s sentence or probation. The bill allows a judge to
31	31	prohibit a person who is convicted of a crime from contacting, for any part of the
32	32	person’s sentence or probation, a juror who served at any proceeding related to the
33	33	person’s crime.
34	34	Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
35	35	the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
36	36	report.
37	37	The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
