Assembly Bill 932 aims to amend specific statutes related to the definition of violent crime, particularly in the context of crimes committed in school zones. The bill corrects an error in the classification of a crime that was incorrectly listed as a misdemeanor when it is actually a felony, thereby moving it to the appropriate list of felonies. Additionally, the bill updates terminology to reflect the transition from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's previous system of uniform crime reports to the current National Incident-Based Reporting System, ensuring that state law aligns with federal standards.

The bill includes specific amendments to sections 165.845 and 939.632 of the statutes. Notably, it inserts a cross-reference to the crime of felony stalking in the list of felonies defined as violent crimes in a school zone, while also removing a reference to stalking from the list of misdemeanors, as it is not classified as such. These changes are presented as remedial language suggested by the Department of Justice and are intended to enhance clarity and accuracy in the legal definitions surrounding violent crimes.
