SB115 Summary: Anti-Aggravated Riot Act

• Creates new crimes of assault against a first responder in the first degree (Class B felony with minimum 6-month imprisonment) and second degree (Class C felony with minimum 3-month imprisonment), with mandatory restitution for medical treatment and property damage.

• Establishes crimes of aggravated riot (Class C felony with minimum 3-month imprisonment for participating in riots causing over $2,500 in property damage or physical injury) and unlawful traffic interference (Class A misdemeanor, or Class C felony on second offense or if causing injury/property damage).

• Amends riot and inciting to riot statutes to impose minimum 30-day imprisonment without probation or parole consideration, plus mandatory restitution for victims.

• Requires persons arrested for assault against first responders, riot-related offenses, or unlawful traffic interference to be held in custody until court appearance within 24 hours (compared to 48 hours for domestic violence/elder abuse).

• Prevents political subdivisions that abolish or reduce police funding by 50% or more from receiving state grants, aid, or revenue sharing, unless they can prove the reduction was fiscally necessary or the agency remains adequately funded.
