Summary

The law makes it a crime to deliberately threaten a violent act that could cause death or serious injury at places like schools, daycares, workplaces, houses of worship, or medical facilities, even if the threat is only posted online and the person has no intention to carry it out. Adults 18 and older can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, while minors are sent to counseling services or treated as misdemeanors. The bill also sets rules for local governments about cost reimbursement.
