Relating to: recodification of battery statutes and providing a penalty.
AB 121 reorganizes existing battery-related statutes into a new, clearer structure without changing penalties or legal definitions. It consolidates and renumbers sections covering battery offenses (e.g., battery by prisoners, battery against firefighters, and elder abuse) into new statutory sections like 940.61, 940.62, and 940.66. For example, it moves provisions about battery to firefighters from old sections to 940.62 and creates a new definition of "recklessly" for elder abuse cases under 940.66. The bill primarily streamlines the legal code for easier reference, as all referenced penalties and conditions remain unchanged from prior law.
