Establishes the crime of inciting violence against a police officer
S 3119 creates a new felony offense for intentionally advocating violence against police officers when that advocacy is likely to incite immediate violence. It directly affects individuals who publicly call for violence against officers, such as through speeches, social media, or other communications. The law defines the crime as a class D felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison, and requires proof of both intent to incite violence and a likelihood of imminent harm. The bill would take effect 90 days after enactment if passed.
