SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Infectious biological substances; penalty. Redefines the term "infectious biological substance" to mean any bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, or rickettsiae capable of causing death or serious bodily injury and defines the term "imitation infectious biological substance" to mean any substance in any form whatsoever that is not an infectious biological substance, and which by overall appearance or by representations made, would cause the substance to be mistaken by a reasonable person for an infectious biological substance. The bill also punishes possession and use of an imitation infectious biological substance and raises penalties for a violation of the law prohibiting possession and use of an infectious biological substance.
