CA SB821

Expands the crime of criminal threats to include threats to commit crimes against another person or at a location or event that will result in death or great bodily injury

Establishes that threats against a person are criminal if they are unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific enough to cause the threatened person to reasonably fear for their own safety or their immediate family's safety

Establishes that threats at a location or event are criminal if they are unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific enough to a reasonable person perceiving the threat to make evacuation, lockdown, or closure of the location or cancellation of the event appear reasonably necessary for public protection

Defines "immediate family" to include spouses, parents, children, relatives within the second degree, and others regularly residing in the household or who did so within the prior six months

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because the act creates a new crime or changes the definition of an existing crime
