Qué contiene
Resumen con IA People who lie to the police about a crime happening would now face a felony charge, regardless of how serious the reported crime was. If someone keeps making false claims after they are proven untrue, they could face a more serious misdemeanor charge for malicious prosecution. These changes affect anyone who makes false reports of criminal activity. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to false accusations of a criminal act. Current law provides that a person who reports the alleged occurrence of a criminal act, knowing the act did not occur, commits a class “D” felony if the alleged criminal act reported is a forcible felony, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, an act of terrorism, unlawful possession of biological agents or diseases, or any arson offense. The bill provides that a person who reports the alleged occurrence of a criminal act, knowing the act did not occur, commits a class “D” felony. A class “D” felony is punishable by confinement for no more than five years and a fine of at least $1,025 but not more than $10,245.6, 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.
