AI Summary
This bill amends the crime of "intimidation" to include acts against election officials, employees, and agents of the Secretary of State, county clerks, and municipal clerks. The bill expands the definition of intimidation to cover inducing or attempting to induce fear in these individuals through the use or threat of force, violence, damage, harm, loss, or economic retaliation, with the purpose of impeding or preventing the free exercise of the electoral franchise or the impartial administration of elections and the Election Code. Under the proposed changes, anyone who commits this form of intimidation would be guilty of a fourth-degree felony.
