LA HB133

Expands the definition of battery of a school teacher to include battery committed because of the victim's status as a teacher, not just battery during performance of duties

Reduces penalties for student offenders when no medical attention is required: maximum fine lowered from $5,000 to $1,000, maximum imprisonment reduced from one year to six months

Increases penalties for student offenders when injury requires medical attention: imprisonment of 30 days to one year with or without hard labor, with mandatory 72 hours without suspension

Non-student offenders face $5,000 fine and/or 1-5 years imprisonment with or without hard labor, regardless of whether injury requires medical attention

Adds battery of a school teacher to offenses requiring secure placement for juveniles 14 and older, and mandates court-approved counseling (anger management or behavior intervention) with costs borne by the child or responsible guardian
