Relating to: fixing a cross-reference in a definition of “violent crime” and updating terminology to reflect changes in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (suggested as remedial language by the Department of Justice).
SB 911 corrects a technical error in Wisconsin law by updating references to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's reporting systems. It amends three statutes to replace outdated terminology (like "Federal Bureau of Investigation" with current naming) and fixes a cross-reference in the definition of "violent crime" used for legal classifications. This purely procedural bill does not change criminal definitions or policies - it only aligns existing law with current FBI reporting terminology as requested by the Department of Justice. The changes affect how violent crime statistics are documented in state legal codes but do not alter who is classified as a violent offender.
