Senate Bill 94 introduces significant legal changes regarding riots and vandalism in Wisconsin. It establishes a definition of "riot" as a public disturbance involving violence or threats of violence by an assembly of at least three individuals, which poses a clear danger to property or personal safety. The bill makes it a Class I felony to incite a riot and a Class H felony to commit violence while participating in a riot. Additionally, it creates a civil cause of action for individuals who suffer injuries or property damage due to violations related to riots or vandalism, allowing them to sue both the perpetrators and those who provided material support for the offenses.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits government officials from imposing limitations on law enforcement's ability to arrest or detain individuals involved in riot or vandalism activities. It also protects law enforcement employees from punitive actions if they participate in investigations related to these violations. The new legal provisions aim to enhance accountability and ensure that law enforcement can effectively respond to such disturbances without interference from government officials.
