2005 House Bill 5270

Senate Roll Call 716: Passed

To clarify that provisions prohibiting intentionally aiming a firearm or discharging the firearm at another person, but without malice, does not apply to peace officers when done in the performance of their duties as peace officers. The bill would also define "peace officer," and increase the maximum sentence for injuring someone by accidentally firing a gun from 90 to 93 days (which places the conviction in the permanent criminal records database).
