2025 SENATE BILL 77
February 26, 2025 - Introduced by Senators JACQUE, NASS, TOMCZYK and
WANGGAARD, cosponsored by Representatives B. JACOBSON, ALLEN, DITTRICH,
DONOVAN, KREIBICH, MURPHY, MURSAU, GUNDRUM and WICHGERS. Referred
to Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety.
AN ACT to amend 943.10 (1m) (intro.) of the statutes; relating to: entering
certain places with intent to commit battery and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, it is a Class F felony to intentionally enter a dwelling or
certain other places without consent, that is, to commit a burglary, with intent to
steal or commit a felony therein. Under current law, such a burglary is a Class E
felony if certain additional circumstances apply. The penalty for a Class F felony is
a fine not to exceed $25,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 12 years and six months,
or both, and the penalty for a Class E felony is a fine not to exceed $50,000 or
imprisonment not to exceed 15 years, or both.
Under this bill, it is also a Class F felony, or a Class E felony if certain
additional circumstances apply, to intentionally enter a dwelling or certain other
places without consent with intent to commit any battery.
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:
