Relative to the penalties for throwing or shooting objects at motor vehicles. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to increase the penalties for throwing or shooting any object, referred to as a "missile," at a motor vehicle, train, bus, or trolley, or for interfering with the operator of such a vehicle while they are performing their duties. Previously, the law allowed for a fine or imprisonment, but this bill proposes to increase the maximum fine to $1,000 and the maximum imprisonment to 5 years, thereby strengthening the consequences for such actions.
