HI HB169

Adds new offense to disorderly conduct statute for engaging in conduct with intent to convey false or misleading information that may reasonably be believed and indicates death, bodily injury, or property damage through firearms or widely dangerous means.

Classifies conviction under the new false information provision as a petty misdemeanor if defendant intended substantial harm or serious inconvenience, or persisted after warning; otherwise classified as a violation.

Allows minors under age 18 at time of offense to apply for expungement of first-time conviction under the new false information provision upon reaching age 18 or three years after conviction, whichever is later, if sentence terms were fulfilled and no subsequent convictions under that provision occurred.

Makes minor grammatical changes to existing disorderly conduct provisions, replacing "which" with "that" in subsections (1)(c) and (1)(d).

Takes effect upon approval; does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that occurred before effective date.
