Bill > A319

This bill grants immunity from civil lawsuits to individuals who report information about crimes related to terrorism or suspected terrorism to law enforcement officials or agencies, provided they act in good faith and not with malicious intent. This protection is intended to encourage the public to come forward with information about potential threats to domestic security, especially in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, without fear of being sued for their reports. The bill specifically lists various terrorism-related offenses, such as the crime of terrorism itself, producing chemical or biological weapons, hindering terrorism investigations, providing material support for terrorism, making terroristic threats, and causing widespread injury or damage, as well as any conspiracies to commit these crimes, that would be covered by this immunity.
