Senate Bill 911 aims to amend specific sections of Wisconsin statutes to correct a misclassification of a crime and update terminology in line with federal standards. The bill addresses the definition of violent crime, specifically moving a crime that is currently misclassified as a misdemeanor to the appropriate felony category. Additionally, it updates the reference from the outdated "system of uniform crime reports" to the current "National Incident-Based Reporting System" as used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The bill also makes minor adjustments to the lists of felonies and misdemeanors classified as violent crimes in a school zone. It inserts a cross-reference to the crime of felony stalking in the felony list and removes a reference to stalking from the misdemeanor list, as stalking is not classified as a misdemeanor offense. These changes are proposed as remedial legislation to ensure clarity and accuracy in the legal definitions and classifications related to violent crimes.
