Crimes and offenses; crime of reckless endangerment expanded, criminal penalties provided

Summary

The bill adds a new category of reckless endangerment for conduct that creates a substantial risk of serious injury to multiple people. That conduct becomes a Class C felony, but if a deadly weapon is used it is upgraded to a Class B felony, while the original single‑victim offense remains a Class A misdemeanor. The change is intended to impose tougher punishments for more dangerous reckless actions.
