Summary

Existing law makes willful threats to commit a crime that will result in death or great bodily injury to another person illegal, and punishes offenders with imprisonment in a county jail for a period not to exceed one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison. This bill would prohibit a malicious communication to any other person, as specified, that deadly harm will occur on the campus of a school, or at a location of a school-sponsored event, even if there is no intent of carrying it out. The bill would make a violation punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for a period not exceeding one year or by imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years. The bill would require a minor who violates this provision to be placed on probation and ordered to perform community service and participate in mental health counseling. The bill would make the parent or guardian of the minor responsible for the expense of counseling and any civil liability resulting from a violation of these provisions. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
