WI AB361

Defendants cannot claim "adequate provocation" to reduce first-degree intentional homicide charges if the provocation resulted from discovering or learning about a victim's gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation

Self-defense claims are prohibited when based on the discovery, knowledge, or potential disclosure of a victim's actual or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation

The "not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect" defense cannot be used when the defendant's mental state resulted from discovering another person's gender identity or sexual orientation

These defense prohibitions apply even when the victim made a non-violent romantic or sexual advance, or when the defendant and victim had dated or been in a relationship

The law applies to offenses committed on or after the effective date of enactment
