What changed in the latest version
2 added · 2 removedPlain-language change summary
The changes to Senate Bill 1687 clarify the definition and context of drive-by shootings. The updated bill specifies that the offense can occur from within a motor vehicle or just after exiting it, rather than including the immediate area around the vehicle. This distinction is important because it focuses on actions directly connected to the vehicle itself, allowing for more precise legal enforcement. Additionally, the penalties remain the same, including vehicle seizure and suspension of driving privileges, reinforcing the seriousness of this crime.
House Engrossed Senate BillEngrossed drive by shooting;
A person commits drive by shooting by intentionally discharging a weapon from a motor vehicle at a person, another occupied motor vehicle or an occupied structure FROM WITHIN OR IMMEDIATELYJUST AFTER EXITING A MOTOR VEHICLE.
