What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the crime of intimidating a crime victim is a Class A

misdemeanor unless there are aggravating circumstances that increase the penalty

to a Class G felony. Under this bill, the crime of intimidating a victim of a crime of

domestic abuse is a Class G 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.
