Bill Summary
BATTERY -- Amends existing law to provide certain exemptions for battery against health care workers.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to provide certain exemptions for battery against health care workers. The bill specifies that the increased penalty for battery against health care workers does not apply to individuals whose commission of battery is the direct result of mental illness or related symptoms, such as delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized thinking. These individuals must be in the process of seeking admission to, admitted to, or currently being treated in a hospital, medical clinic, or mental health facility for their mental illness. The existing law requiring the application of section 18-116 of the Idaho Code will still apply despite these exemptions.
