AI Summary
This bill makes purposely desecrating a military monument a crime of the third degree. A "military monument" is defined as any monument that was erected to honor current or former members of the armed forces or to mark or commemorate a past military action or battle. The existing law already prohibits the purposeful desecration of public monuments, insignia, symbols, structures, places of worship, or burial sites, but this bill adds a specific provision for military monuments, making the offense a more serious crime.
