Resumen con IA If someone keeps accusing others of crimes after those claims have been proven false, they can now be charged with a more serious crime called malicious prosecution. This change increases the punishment for this offense from a serious misdemeanor to an aggravated misdemeanor. People convicted of this crime could face up to two years in jail and larger fines.

Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to false accusations of criminal acts. Current law provides that a person who reports the alleged occurrence of a criminal act, knowing the act did not occur, commits a serious misdemeanor or a class “D” felony depending on the nature of the alleged offense. The bill provides that any person who continues to make allegations of an alleged occurrence of a criminal act after the allegations are proven to be false may be charged with malicious prosecution under Code section 720.6, which the bill changes from a serious misdemeanor to an aggravated misdemeanor. An aggravated misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than two years and a fine of at least $855 but not more than $8,540.
