AB 932 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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).

This bill (AB 932) corrects outdated references to the "Federal Bureau of Investigation" in Wisconsin's criminal code to match current federal terminology used by the FBI's reporting systems. It specifically updates the definition of "violent crime" in statutes related to sentencing and reporting, ensuring alignment with the FBI's "National Incident-Based Reporting System." The changes are purely technical - no new penalties or legal standards are created - and were suggested by the Department of Justice as remedial language. This is a procedural update to maintain consistency in legal references, not a substantive policy change.
