Bill > SB975

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Crimes and Offenses law to further provide for the offense of terroristic threats. The key provisions include: 1) Requiring individuals convicted or adjudicated delinquent of making terroristic threats to pay the costs of any resulting evacuation or other response, such as emergency services, supplies, and employee wages; 2) Establishing that making a threat that causes a school or educational facility to divert from normal operations constitutes a felony of the third degree; and 3) Defining key terms like "communicates" and "institution of higher education" to clarify the scope of the law. The bill aims to hold those who make terroristic threats accountable for the costs and disruptions caused by their actions.
