CRIM CD-AGG BATTERY                                                        

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961.  Provides that a person commits      
   aggravated battery if, in committing a battery,  he  or  she  (or  the      
   person  battered)  is in a building or other structure used to provide      
   shelter or other services to victims of domestic violence  or  to  the      
   dependent children of victims of domestic violence, or within 500 feet      
   of such a building or other structure.  Effective immediately.              
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Provides that the new aggravated battery provision applies if the      
   person battered is within 500 feet while going to or from the  shelter      
   (rather than just being within 500 feet of the shelter).

        Recommends that various changes be made in the phrasing and order      
   of the new provisions; the new provisions also apply to victims and         
   their dependent children pursuant to the Domestic Violence Shelters         
   Act; and the term "building or other structure used to provide shel-        
   ter" be given a specified definition.
