Overview
This bill increases the penalties for making a terrorist threat in Alabama, distinguishing between the first and second degrees. It requires public school principals to immediately notify law enforcement if a student’s actions suggest they’ve committed a terrorist threat, mandates a minimum one-year suspension for such students, and establishes provisions for readmittance and restitution. The bill also defines ‘credible threat’ and ‘threat’ and amends existing laws related to school discipline and criminal offenses.
