June 17, 2015 - Introduced by Senators Bewley and Ringhand, cosponsored by Representatives Doyle, T. Larson, Berceau, Kahl, Subeck and Zamarripa. Referred to Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety.

SB197,1,4 An Act to amend 301.048 (2) (bm) 1. a., 895.035 (4a) (a) 2., 938.34 (14q), 941.291 (1) (b), 946.82 (4), 969.08 (10) (b) and 973.137 (1m); and to create 947.019 of the statutes; relating to: making a false threat to use a firearm to injure or kill another person in a school zone and providing a penalty.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, a person who conveys or causes to be conveyed a false threat to use a firearm to injure or kill another person on or within 1,000 feet from the premises of a school, on a school bus or public transportation transporting students to and from a school, or at school bus stops where students are waiting for a school bus or are being dropped off by a school bus, is guilty of a Class I felony.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to result if the bill is enacted.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
