AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of sexual battery to include the act of entering someone's inhabited dwelling (a place where people live) without lawful permission and touching an intimate part of another person against their will for sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse; this new offense can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. The bill also makes technical changes to existing laws related to sexual battery, including definitions of terms like "intimate part" and "touching," and clarifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies because the bill creates a new crime or changes penalties for existing ones.
