This bill makes it a crime of the second degree to intentionally interfere with 9-1-1 public safety answering points. It expands the existing law to specifically prohibit disrupting or impairing access to these systems. The bill clarifies that denying, disrupting, or impairing computer services, including access to a PSAP, constitutes a second-degree offense. If the interference involves a government agency victim, a longer prison sentence may be imposed.
