AB221,1,4
1An Act to amend 301.048 (2) (bm) 1. a., 938.208 (1) (a), 938.34 (4m) (b) 1., 938.78
2(3), 939.632 (1) (e) 1., 941.291 (1) (b), 946.82 (4) and 969.08 (10) (b); and
to
3create 941.294 of the statutes;
relating to: prohibition on certain bullets and
4providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law does not place restrictions on the type of ammunition or bullets an
individual can possess. This bill prohibits a person, with certain exceptions such as
for law enforcement or to comply with hunting requirements, from selling,
transporting, manufacturing, or possessing any hollowpoint bullet, any bullet that
expands or flattens easily in the human body, or any bullet with a hard envelope that
does not entirely cover the core of the bullet. An individual who violates the
prohibition is guilty of a Class H felony and is subject to a fine of up to $10,000,
imprisonment of up to six years, or both. This bill also adds the new crime to lists
of certain crimes that may increase the penalty or carry other consequences. For
instance, this bill adds the crime to the list of violent crimes in a school zone so that
if an individual sells, transports, manufactures, or possesses such ammunition on
the premises of a school or within 1,000 feet from the premises of a school, the
maximum term of imprisonment is increased by five years, and, in addition, a person
who commits this crime may not possess body armor.
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 concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
