Bill > SB1820

This bill modifies the existing law regarding dueling by specifying that fighting a duel with a deadly weapon, even if no one is injured, is a Class C1 felony offense. It also introduces new guidelines for consent as an affirmative defense to certain assaultive conduct, meaning a person might not be prosecuted if the victim effectively consented to the action and the action did not cause serious bodily injury (defined as harm risking death, causing permanent disfigurement, or prolonged impairment of bodily function) and the victim understood the risks involved in their occupation, medical treatment, or a scientific experiment. However, this consent defense is not applicable if the assaultive conduct is a condition for joining or remaining in a criminal street gang. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2026.
