FL S1850

Amends Florida Statutes § 836.10 to add "electronic record" to existing written threat statutes, defining electronic record as any digitally created, modified, or distributed content containing text, graphics, video, audio, or pictorial representation, excluding telephone calls.

Prohibits any person from sending, posting, or transmitting a written or electronic record that threatens to kill or do bodily harm to another person, or threatens to conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism, in a manner viewable by another person.

Updates the Criminal Punishment Code offense severity ranking chart (s. 921.0022) to reflect the addition of electronic threats to the written threats statute as a Level 6, second-degree felony offense.
