AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
HB 331 creates several new criminal offenses and expands existing ones. It renames "threat of terrorism" to simply "terrorism" and clarifies that the law covers completed acts, not just threats. It creates a new felony for anyone who commits a crime while coordinating with a federally designated foreign terrorist organization, or who unlawfully acts as an agent of a foreign government. It makes it a class A misdemeanor to wear a mask or disguise to hide one's identity from law enforcement while committing — or knowingly standing alongside others who are committing — a crime in a public place. It also creates a new felony for blocking people from entering or exiting a house of worship to prevent them from practicing their religion, and allows victims to sue the individuals responsible for at least $2,000 in damages plus attorney fees.
