Bill Summary

This bill relates to intimidation with a dangerous weapon. The bill removes language referring to the shooting, throwing, launching, or discharging of a dangerous weapon within an assembly of people, and thereby placing the occupants or people in reasonable apprehension of serious injury from the bill, but includes the shooting, throwing, launching, or discharging of a weapon at another person. A violation of the bill is either a class “C” or class “D” felony depending on the circumstances. A class “C” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than 10 years and a fine of at least $1,370 but not more than $13,660. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the law concerning intimidation with a dangerous weapon by removing the specific prohibition against shooting, throwing, launching, or discharging a dangerous weapon within an assembly of people in a way that causes reasonable apprehension of serious injury, and instead focuses on the act of directing such actions at another person or into occupied structures like buildings, vehicles, or vessels, or threatening to do so under circumstances where the threat is likely to be carried out. A violation of this updated law will be classified as either a class "C" felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and significant fines, or a class "D" felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and lesser fines, depending on the specific details of the offense.
