Callous disregard for human life and probable consequences; penalties.

Summary

The bill makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor for anyone who commits a criminal act with conduct so gross, wanton, or culpable that it shows a callous disregard for human life and its likely consequences. If the offender knew—or should have known—that their actions posed a greater risk to first responders, the penalty is increased to a Class 6 felony. This adds stronger deterrence for dangerous behavior that endangers both the public and emergency personnel.
