This bill narrows the list of state law titles where courts can impose a Class 2 misdemeanor penalty as a default when a statute doesn't specify a punishment for breaking the law. Specifically, it removes Title 12 from the exception, meaning violations in that title will no longer automatically result in Class 2 misdemeanor charges if no other penalty is written into the statute.
