What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, whoever recklessly causes the death of another person is guilty of a Class D felony, and whoever recklessly endangers another person's safety is guilty of a Class G felony. For the purpose of these crimes, “recklessly” means that the actor creates an unreasonable and substantial risk of death or great bodily harm to another person, and that the actor is aware of that risk.
Under this bill, a person who recklessly endangers the safety of a person who is incapacitated by alcohol or another drug is guilty of a Class G felony, if the reckless endangerment of safety results in death. For the purposes of this crime created under the bill, “recklessly” is defined as conduct that creates a situation of unreasonable risk of harm and demonstrates a conscious disregard for the safety of the person who is incapacitated by alcohol or another drug.
