Resisting law enforcement conflict resolution.

Summary

The law creates a new Class A misdemeanor for knowingly resisting, obstructing, or fleeing a law‑enforcement officer, and a Class B misdemeanor for entering a barred area after being denied entry. It escalates the offense to felonies—up to Level 2—when a vehicle is used, a deadly weapon is drawn, or serious injury or death occurs, especially to officers, firefighters, or EMS providers. Mandatory minimum jail time and possible driver‑license suspension are added, and a limited family‑member defense is provided.
