What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who intentionally calls "911" to report an

emergency, knowing that the emergency that he or she is reporting does not exist,

must, for a first offense, be fined between $50 and $300, imprisoned not more than

90 days, or both. This bill changes the fine to be between $100 and $600.
