Green Bay Senator Eric Wimberger's Senate Bill 485, signed into law, expands Wisconsin's robbery laws to include situations with imminent force belief.

Green Bay Senator Eric Wimberger's Senate Bill 485, signed into law, strengthens Wisconsin's robbery laws by broadening the definition to include situations where a reasonable person would believe the use of force was imminent. This change aims to close a loophole that previously required the use or threat of force for a robbery conviction. The new law aligns with current bank employee training policies.
