Criminal Offenses Modifications

Summary

The bill renames the existing threat‑of‑terrorism offense to “terrorism” and expands it to cover completed acts as well as threats. It also adds three new crimes – unlawfully advancing foreign organizations or governments, intentionally hiding one’s identity while committing a crime in public, and depriving someone of the right to enter or leave a house of worship – each with specified penalties. The changes give victims of religious‑rights violations a civil cause of action and require courts to order restitution for government response costs.
