SB 197

Under this bill, a person who conveys or causes to be conveyed a false threat to

use a firearm to injure or kill another person on or within 1,000 feet from the

premises of a school, on a school bus or public transportation transporting students

to and from a school, or at school bus stops where students are waiting for a school

bus or are being dropped off by a school bus, is guilty of a Class I felony.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
