Photo Release: Carozza’s Bomb Threat Prosecution Bill Signed into Law
 

ANNAPOLIS – Delegate Mary Beth Carozza’s (District 38C) bomb threat prosecution bill, HB 121, was signed into law today by Governor Larry Hogan.

This new law, which goes into effect on October 1, 2016, will allow law enforcement to prosecute the crime of making a false bomb threat in the jurisdiction in which the destructive device or toxic material was stated or rumored to be located, regardless of where the call originated or was received. Carozza introduced this legislation on the heels of repeated false bomb threats against schools and other public facilities on the Eastern Shore and across Maryland earlier this year.

Wasn't the guy doing that found in France? How would this have helped? Not to say the next one won't be from here, and the last one was a total pain in the a__.
