|---|
| 9 | 9 | | AN ACT to amend 943.10 (1m) (intro.) of the statutes; relating to: entering |

| 10 | 10 | | certain places with intent to commit battery and providing a penalty. |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | Under current law, it is a Class F felony to intentionally enter a dwelling or |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | certain other places without consent, that is, to commit a burglary, with intent to |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | steal or commit a felony therein. Under current law, such a burglary is a Class E |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | felony if certain additional circumstances apply. The penalty for a Class F felony is |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | a fine not to exceed $25,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 12 years and six months, |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | or both, and the penalty for a Class E felony is a fine not to exceed $50,000 or |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | imprisonment not to exceed 15 years, or both. |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | Under this bill, it is also a Class F felony, or a Class E felony if certain |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | additional circumstances apply, to intentionally enter a dwelling or certain other |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | places without consent with intent to commit any battery. |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | report. |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | enact as follows: |
