    dwelling

    This modification removes 'dwelling' from the aggravated burglary definition.

  • 30-16-4.1. [NEW MATERIAL] HOME INVASION.-- A. Home invasion consists of the unlawful entry of a dwelling while an occupant is inside with the intent to commit a felony or theft in it and the person either: (1) is armed with a deadly weapon; (2) after entering, is armed with a deadly weapon; or (3) commits any unlawful act, threat or menacing conduct that causes another person to reasonably believe that the person is in danger of receiving an immediate battery. B. Whoever commits home invasion is guilty of a second degree felony.
