MODERATE
The bill was amended from its introduced version to its Senate version, primarily updating formatting and citation references. The most significant substantive change is that the penalty for knowingly using a signal jammer was increased from a Class A misdemeanor to a Level 6 felony, representing a much harsher punishment. The digest was also updated to reflect this change and to show the bill's progress through the legislative process.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on signal jamming devices, but the severity of penalties for violations has been significantly increased.
ENFORCEMENT
The penalty for knowingly or intentionally using a signal jammer was increased from a Class A misdemeanor to a Level 6 felony, substantially raising the legal consequences for violators.
TECHNICAL
Citation references in the digest were simplified from specific code sections to broader chapter references (e.g., IC 34-24-1-1 became IC 34-24).
Page headers and footers were updated to reflect the bill's current stage (HB 1155 instead of Introduced House Bill 1155).
