Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a person from placing objects, drugs or other substances
in candy or other liquid or solid edibles with the intent to cause bodily harm to
another person. A person who violates this prohibition may be fined not more than
$10,000 or imprisoned for not more than two years or both if the offense occurs before
December 31, 1999. If the offense occurs on or after December 31, 1999, the person
may be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years or
both.
This bill prohibits a person from placing blood, saliva, urine, feces or other
bodily substances in candy or other liquid or solid edibles with the intent that the
blood, saliva, urine, feces or other bodily substances be consumed by another person
without that other person's knowledge. The bill does not require that a person who
violates this prohibition have the intent to cause bodily harm to another person. A
person who violates the prohibition created in the bill may be fined not more than
$10,000 or imprisoned for not more than nine months or both. The bill also provides
that a person may be convicted and punished for violating either the prohibition in
current law or the prohibition created in the bill, but not both.
