Summary

The bill adds a range of offenses – such as a second conviction for assault or domestic abuse witnessed by a child, strangulation of an intimate partner, and assaults on police or juveniles – to the Class B5 category. By reclassifying these crimes, individuals convicted of them will face the penalties associated with Class B5. The change aims to strengthen penalties for repeat and especially harmful violent conduct.
