What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law it is a Class C felony to, by use of force or threat to use

imminent force, take property from an individual that is owned or under the custody

or control of a financial institution. This bill provides that it is also a Class C felony

to take such property by creating circumstances that would cause a reasonable

person to believe use of force was imminent. A Class C felony is punishable by

imprisonment for up to 40 years or a fine of up to $100,000, or both.

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.
