A bill for an act relating to false accusations of criminal acts, and providing penalties.

Summary

The bill creates new felony penalties for anyone who knowingly reports false information about certain serious crimes to fire departments, police or other public safety agencies. It also raises the charge for continuing to make false accusations after they are proven false to an aggravated misdemeanor, and makes false reports that cause injury or death a higher‑level felony. The changes aim to deter false accusations that waste resources and can endanger lives.
