Summary
Threats of death or bodily injury; penalty. Provides that any person who knowingly communicates, in a writing, a threat to kill or do bodily harm to a person or class of persons, regardless of whether the person or a member of the class of persons who is the object of the threat actually receives the threat, and the threat would place the object of the threat in reasonable apprehension of death or bodily injury is guilty of a Class 6 felony.

The bill also expands the types of government activities to include judicial proceedings for which threats to kill or do bodily injury with the intent to influence such government activities are punishable as Class 5 felony.
