What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a crime for intentionally conveying any threat or false

information concerning an attempt to use a dangerous weapon to injure or kill a

person on school property, on transportation provided by a school, or at an event

sanctioned by a school. A person who is convicted of the crime 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.
