Assault and battery of a family or household member; penalties. Provides for a Class 1 misdemeanor for a battery through the application of physical force against a family or household member. This provision addresses the decision in U.S. v. White from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2010. The proposal also expands the list of offenses that may be counted as prior convictions for the purposes of enhancing the penalty for assault and battery of a family or household member to include unlawful wounding under § 18.2-51 and nonmalicious injury by a caustic substance or fire, in violation of § 18.2-52.

Assault and battery; Class 1 misdemeanor against a family or household member.
