Reckless endangerment; create crime of.

SB 2035 would create a new misdemeanor crime of "reckless endangerment" in Mississippi for conduct that recklessly places others in imminent danger of death or serious injury. It establishes tiered penalties: up to $500 fine or 1 year in jail for basic violations, up to $3,000 and 6 years for using a deadly weapon, and enhanced penalties (up to $10,000 and 15 years) for discharging firearms into occupied homes. The bill directly affects individuals whose reckless actions endanger others, with stricter punishments for firearm use near occupied dwellings. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
