Modifies the offense of endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree

This bill modifies the legal definition of endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree to clarify specific actions that constitute a crime. It outlines four main scenarios, including criminally negligent acts that create substantial risks to a child under 17, leaving a child under 8 unattended in a car if they are injured or die, and encouraging children to engage in illegal activities or enter public nuisances. The legislation also specifies that the offense is generally a class A misdemeanor but becomes a class E felony if committed by two or more people as part of a pattern of activity. Additionally, it clarifies that providing nonmedical remedial treatment recognized by state law does not count as endangering a child's welfare.
