Bill > AB1955

This bill clarifies that a threat made to a public official or employee, with the intent to influence their actions in their official duties, can be communicated through an "electronic communication device," which is defined as having the same meaning as in Section 422 of the Penal Code. This amendment expands the existing law, which previously specified threats could be made via telephone, telegraph, or letter, to explicitly include modern forms of communication like email or text messages, making it a crime to threaten public officials through these digital means.
