1 24 EXPLANATION
1 25 This bill expands the definition of burglary and attempted
1 26 burglary. The bill provides that a person, who has the intent
1 27 to commit criminal mischief by damaging or destroying property
1 28 and who enters an occupied structure without any right to
1 29 enter, commits burglary. If a person attempts to enter an
1 30 occupied structure to so damage or destroy property, that
1 31 person commits attempted burglary. Criminal mischief is
1 32 defined in Code section 716.1.
