Relating to initiating a false report.

Summary

The bill makes it a crime to knowingly send a false alarm to fire, police, or other emergency agencies. A basic false report is a Class A misdemeanor, but if the report leads to an enhanced law‑enforcement response that results in injury or death, it becomes a Class C felony. Courts must also order offenders to repay response costs and may impose mandatory jail time for SWAT‑type deployments.
