This law makes it a Class C felony (3-15 years in prison and/or up to $10,000 fine) to knowingly damage a building or farm equipment by fire or explosion without the owner's permission or with intent to defraud an insurance company. If the arson occurs at a place of worship, it becomes a Class B felony with harsher penalties.

Penalty: Class C felony; 3-15 years; fine up to $10,000
