Bill > HB05286

This bill aims to modify existing statutes (sections 53a-180 to 53a-180d) to increase penalties for making false threats to school systems. While the specific details of the penalty increases are not provided in the given text, the bill's purpose is clearly to discourage individuals from reporting fake threats that can cause significant disruption, fear, and wasted resources in school settings. By increasing the legal consequences for such actions, the legislation seeks to deter people from making false reports and to protect schools and students from the harmful effects of these malicious communications. The bill reflects a growing concern about the impact of false threats on school safety and the need for stronger legal deterrents to prevent such behavior.
