 3 § 150.20 Arson in the first degree.
 4 1. A person is guilty of arson in the first degree when [he] such
 5 person intentionally damages a building or motor vehicle by causing an
 6 explosion or a fire and when (a) such explosion or fire is caused by or
 7 accelerated by use of ignitable liquid or flammable gas or an incendiary
 8 device propelled, thrown [or], placed or otherwise dispersed or distrib-
 9 uted inside or near such building or motor vehicle; or when such explo-
 10 sion or fire is caused by an explosive; or when such explosion or fire
 11 either (i) causes serious physical injury to another person other than a

 13 tion or receipt of financial advantage or pecuniary profit by the actor;
 14 and when (b) another person who is not a participant in the crime is
 15 present in such building or motor vehicle at the time; and (c) the

 22 ignition.
 23 Arson in the first degree is a class A-I felony.
 24 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 25 have become a law.
